WRITING THE PERFECT MENTOR THANK YOU NOTE

Years later you’re still feeling eternally grateful for the mentor(s) in your
life. Your mentor was your sounding board, your guide, your inspiration! Whether
they were a formal mentor through a community or school program such as Scouts
or Boys and Girls Clubs, or someone senior in your workplace or in your
neighborhood, they stepped up and took an interest in your growth -- National
Mentoring Month (January) is the perfect time to take a moment and thank them. A
thank you note sent to a mentor at their home or workplace is a great way to
reflect on your journey, celebrate your relationship, and express gratitude to
someone who made an impact in your life. Here are six tips for writing a
personal thank you note to your mentor.





6 Tips for Writing the Perfect Mentor Thank You Note

1) Track down your mentor.

It may have been a few years since you had a formal relationship with your
mentor. Sites like LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook make it fairly easy to find
people. You can also try their workplace directory, or if the mentorship was
arranged through a formal organization in your community, contact the executive
director and ask him or her to pass on the thank you note for you. 

2) Write the note by hand, if possible.

If you have a way to get a physical note to your mentor, write the note by hand.
A handwritten thank you note is the gold standard and shows your mentor you took
the time to actually find paper, and a stamp when sharing your message of
gratitude! If that’s not possible, a message sent via social media or email will
be absolutely welcome and will be prized. You can even get creative sharing a
video clip or photo with your message.

3) Reflect on your relationship and the circumstances of the mentorship.

When you’re thanking your mentor, try to think back to where and when they were
supporting your journey. Were they helping you with math at school, with a
robotics project after school, spending time with you on weekend hikes,
encouraging you to express yourself through stories, film or art, or helping you
navigate your new workplace?

4) Talk about how the mentor’s time affected you personally 

How did the mentor’s time, expertise and attention help you in your journey to
adulthood? Did they teach you something specific, encourage you to try new
things, build your confidence, help instill a new goal, intention or purpose?

5) Share an update about your life.

If you and your mentor spent quite a bit of time together, they will be very
interested in hearing your news. Perhaps share a few highlights about your life
to let your mentor know a thing or two about who you have become as an adult.
What are studying in college? What are your career and family goals? What are
your adult passions and interests?

6) Keep it simple.

Your thank you note doesn’t have to be a long and involved message – it can be
three or four lines, simply written that come from the heart.

Community Action & Activism Resource Center.
