Participants are required to fully engage in the year-long program, beginning with virtual preparatory formation sessions before the Forum. These sessions orient participants to GIVEN’s pillars, introduce them to their cohort, and provide initial tools for discerning their Action Plan. Following the Forum, participants journey through the program with ongoing support. They:

• Meet with their mentor at least once a month for a minimum of 30 minutes
• Participate in monthly check-ins and quarterly virtual gatherings
• Work with GIVEN Action Plan Strategists for additional guidance, accountability, and resources as they design and implement their plan
• Develop and carry out their Action Plan with the encouragement of both their mentor and GIVEN staff
• Submit both a mid-year and final evaluation
