Written by Katy Molony on . Posted in NCHEP News.

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.
