Mentor Development Cohort
Project ACT is seeking experienced Family Child Care Providers in Baltimore, Harford and Cecil counties to participate in a professional development series focused on developing advanced mentoring skills. Cohort participants will be asked to mentor newly licensed family childcare providers and those seeking to become licensed.
Project ACT is seeking applicants to participate in the cohort, which will start in November 2025 and will include:
- Facilitating Attuned Interactions (FAN) Training Series (12 COK Hours)
- Communities of Practice (COP): monthly, 1-hour COPs for 6 months to provide you with peer support and coaching during your mentoring experience
- Mentoring new family child care providers, with a stipend of $500 per mentee* (10-15 Hours per mentee)
*Mentoring will occur between November 2025 - June 2026; mentees will be assigned by Project ACT; number of mentees is not guaranteed.
