NCHEP Mentoring Program: Join the SWAT TEAM
Strengthening Workmanship, Advancing Tenacity Through Empowerment and Mentorship
The NCHEP Mentoring Program—better known as the SWAT TEAM—is a strategic support initiative designed to assist newly hired homeless liaisons as they navigate their roles within North Carolina’s school districts.
Through this program, we aim to:
- Strengthen collaborative connections across Local Education Agencies (LEAs)
- Enhance the effectiveness and impact of homeless education programs
- Build a statewide network of experienced professionals committed to excellence in service
- Foster professional growth through mentorship, guidance, and shared resources
How the Mentoring Program Works

The SWAT TEAM model offers a one-to-one mentoring relationship that includes:
- Ongoing interactions between mentors and mentees
- Monthly virtual mentor-mentee check-in
- Role modeling and shared learning experiences
- Tailored strategies that address specific needs
Whether you’re a new liaison seeking guidance or a veteran leader looking to give back, the NCHEP Mentoring Program provides a meaningful opportunity to connect, learn, and grow.
