Congratulations,
2025 Mentorloop
Impact Award Winners!

23 recipients from around the globe

It’s that time again! Time to shine a light on the most impactful mentoring programs, making mentoring more accessible than ever before – around the world.

Running a mentoring program is an incredibly rewarding experience that positively impacts the lives of many – however, it’s an effort that can sometimes go underappreciated.

We’re so pleased to champion and celebrate not only the impactful mentoring programs around the globe but their incredibly passionate and supportive Coordinators too!

These programs have been awarded on four key criteria:

  • The program gives everyone the opportunity to benefit from mentoring, not just a few “chosen ones”
  • The program endeavours to create a culture of mentoring in the organisation or community
  • The program strives to make/is making a significant positive impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion, whether explicitly stated as a program goal or as a natural result of mentoring happening in the organisation
  • The program coordinator/s has/have made a concerted effort towards achieving the target number of participants
  • The program is scalable whilst retaining mentoring quality and participant satisfaction
  • The program has undergone a significant expansion in the form of either the creation of additional programs or graduation from a pilot to always-on mentoring; or
  • The program coordinator/s run multiple programs for different cohorts

Some examples include:

  • The program has maintained an above average level of engagement within their cohort
  • The program has received positive feedback from the participants in their program

Some examples include:

  • There has been demand among members of the organisation or community to continue and/or expand the mentoring program more broadly
  • There has been a significant impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion within the organisation or community
  • The program has enabled better connections between people in their organisation or community despite geographical hurdles

Mentoring Programs that embody a collection of these attributes, more often than not, surpass the goals in which they set out to achieve.
