I never thought of myself as a mentor until I did! When the University of Michigan IT Mentorship program opened up, I applied. This year is my third volunteering as a mentor through the program. Each year is different. I'll describe the learning process, getting the most out of the program while helping your mentees, working on trying to overcome the Impostor Syndrome, and why you should think about becoming a mentor or a mentee.
I encourage an interactive discussion and breakout groups. I'll also ask for suggestions on best mentoring practices, formal, and informal, and being in a dual mentee/mentor role.
