Fahrenheit

Programs: Personal mentoring is our largest program. On average, 363 mentoring meetings per year have taken place by fahrenheit employees and volunteers. Each mentored person is offered anywhere from 1-3 hours of time each mentoring meeting. Topics range from spiritual growth, business networking, marriage and family issues and personal growth issues. Meetings take place usually in cafes, personal homes, or conducted via skype as part of a virtual mentoring program. Current virtual mentoring reaches the u. S. A. , poland, portugal, the netherlands, england, and germany.

mentoring training is our organization's second largest program service. On average, 151 one-on-one mentor training sessions were led by fahrenheit employees per year. Recipients were presented tools to better mentor others. All of the 151 sessions were made available to mentors who are currently training other mentors. This past year, we had 3 training workshops reaching 37 people. Additionally, our facebook page reached 6,705 people with training tools for mentors. Our blog received 11,426 hits on mentoring topics. We have also sent 72 newsletters per week (3,600 per year) to financial donors and those interested in mentoring on the topic of mentoring.

mentoring partnerships are the third largest program service provided by fahrenheit. A majority of current mentoring partnerships are from oklahoma which necessitates a yearly business trip paid by fahrenheit (airfare for employees chris and christina elledge from vienna, austria to oklahoma city, ok). The purpose of these trips is to strengthen current partnerships, build potential new partnerships, and lead/teach training opportunities for fahrenheit's board of directors. This year, we had 6 speaking engagements reaching 684 people, 4 workshops training 63 people.
