Mentor Coaching Session

Our Mentor Training Program includes Mentor Coaching Sessions, a unique, simulation-type event where mentors and mentees come together for real conversations with real impact.

During each two-hour virtual session, AMS mentors practice their mentoring skills in live, guided conversations with volunteer mentees. These sessions offer a safe, supportive space for mentors to grow through feedback, reflection, and authentic connection—while mentees gain a firsthand look at adoptee-centered mentorship in action.

Volunteer mentees play a vital role in shaping how our mentors learn to listen, respond, and hold space for others in our community. No preparation or prior experience is needed—just a willingness to show up and share from your lived experience as an adoptee.
