UCSF - Center for Gender Equity

Turnaround Mentorship Program

The Turnaround program is a one year mentoring program sponsored by the UCSF Center For Gender Equity for employees up to, and including, the Administrative Assistant II classification who have worked at UCSF for a minimum of one year.

This program will provide participants with an opportunity to invest in their personal and professional development by engaging in a mentoring relationship with a UCSF employee who is in an AAIII or above. Within this relationship, Mentors and Mentees will explore the participant's career path and discuss the knowledge, skills and other important resources that could help the Mentee successfully navigate this path.
