LAMP

Leadership Advancement Mentorship Program


A LITTLE ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION

LAMP's mission is to facilitate access to mentor-mentee relationships in the Muslim community, in addition to fostering career-advancing leadership skills within those members.

Why Mentoring? Mentoring is a relationship that is developed to help coach, motivate, and train leadership and career skills in a specific field of interest. Mentoring is both rewarding, and helps impact the career choices and development of a young professional. A LAMP mentor is one who is willing to contribute time, energy, and resources to mentee(s) in helping to support their growth and launch into the professional working world.

Our organization is broken down into spheres. A Sphere is a workspace to network with similar careers and fields of studies within LAMP. Our six Spheres are Information Technology, Business, Liberal Arts, Engineering, Healthcare & Science and Research.

Our vision is to empower the Muslim individual in order to provide a lasting impact on society and the industries we serve. Together we can strengthen our communities through knowledge sharing and career development. We at LAMP believe in these elements as the foundations of empowerment. The Prophet (saw) said: "Acquire knowledge and impart it to the people." - Al-Tirmidhi.

Creating Relationships

Each mentee is paired with a mentor to receive guidance. Mentors will assist mentees throughout their academic and professional careers.

Setting Target Goals

Mentors will assist mentees in setting target goals and effectively utilizing their time and resources. Having both short-term and long-term goals are critical elements comprising a strategic plan.

Career Preparation

From resume building to career workshops to mock interviews, we help the mentee to develop a sense of professionalism that they can then apply in the real world.

Step 4 : Be paired with a mentor

You will be paired with a mentor who will be with you every step of the way. Through a structured and carefully crafted plan, your mentor will make sure that when it comes time for graduation or your next step into the professional world, you will have a clear focus of your career.

On Choosing Your Path

Most of us don't merely take up the space the universe intended for us. Caroline McHugh couldn't have said it better in her TED talk, The Art of Being Yourself. I want you to read that first sentence again, maybe even twice. Choosing a career path is only the start of taking up the space intended for you, and using your given talents in a way that is both satisfying to you and also contributing within the space you are working. If you're anything like me, I think it's a little absurd to know what you want and are going to do for the rest of your life upon receiving your high school diploma...

Set Yourself Apart

Often writing about yourself can seem daunting and for those who aren't used to touting their achievements or writing about their experiences and life it can be an uphill task. But, it is quite pivotal to a strong personal statement that you find the narrative of your life and achievements that encapsulate your powerful story. A lot of times we believe that our story is not interesting enough or special, this tends not to be true. All of us have a narrative that when articulated eloquently after careful self-reflection can tell the hiring, admissions or selection committee why we are the best...
