Mentoring Program Confidentiality Statement*

For a mentoring relationship to develop, both the mentor and mentee must feel that discussions of private issues or problems are being handled with discretion. The purpose of this agreement is to protect both the mentor and mentee from a breach in confidentiality during the mentoring process.

I agree to keep confidential the specifics of my discussions with my mentor/mentee, unless given permission to share this information with others. I am also encouraged to discuss any concerns I have about my mentoring experience with the Mentoring Program Coordinator(s). The Mentoring Program Coordinator will maintain confidentiality unless a breach of confidentiality is necessary to maintain someone’s personal safety. I understand that a copy of this agreement will be given to my mentee/mentor, and I will also receive a copy of his or her signed agreement.
