What’s in a Program

Everything a structured engagement needs, in one group

A Program sits alongside your community’s other groups, with the tools to run mentoring and cohort-based work from first match to final session.

Private pairing spaces

Every pairing gets its own private area — a dedicated place for the two people working together, separate from the rest of the program.

Goal tracking

Mentors and mentees set shared goals and track them together, so progress is visible to the pair and the program stays focused on outcomes.

Messaging & meetings

Pairings message each other and schedule their meetings in the same space where they track goals — no side channels, no lost threads.

Cohorts

Run a program in cohorts with their own dates, phases, and sessions — then start the next cohort without rebuilding anything.

Matchmaking

Match mentors and mentees with built-in matchmaking, or create pairings yourself — whichever fits the way your program runs.

Program resources

Keep handbooks, worksheets, templates, and guides in the program itself, so every participant works from the same materials.

What you can run

Built for the engagements your members value most

Associations, peer networks, and professional communities use Programs to turn membership into real development.
