Mentoring Agreement Template
A simple framework for setting up a professional mentoring relationship — defining goals, structure, responsibilities and confidentiality from the outset.
About this resource
This template helps mentor and mentee start on the same page. It prompts you to agree goals, meeting frequency, responsibilities and boundaries together, so the relationship is productive and expectations are clear.
It supports the Copywriter Code principle of industry responsibility — raising standards by supporting emerging practitioners through mentoring and honest feedback.
What's included
- A section for defining the mentee's goals and success measures
- Structure and commitment: duration, frequency and contact between meetings
- Clear roles and responsibilities for both parties
- Confidentiality provisions
- Space to record contact details and areas of expertise
How to use it
Complete the agreement together at your first meeting, agreeing goals, structure and how you'll communicate between sessions. Be honest about boundaries and availability.
Review the arrangement at the agreed end date, and extend or conclude it by mutual agreement.
