PROMENTOR Stowarzyszenie Mentorów

What PROMENTOR Stowarzyszenie Mentorów does

PROMENTOR Stowarzyszenie Mentorów is a Kraków-registered non-profit association (stowarzyszenie) founded in 2013 to build professional mentoring standards and methodology in Poland. Its product portfolio is centered on training programs rather than technology: the flagship Międzynarodowy Kurs Mentoringu (a 3-day, 24-hour workshop) holds authorization from the UK's Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM), making it the first ILM-authorized mentoring course in Poland; the Szkoła Mentorów Oświaty (SMO) is a 6-day, 48-hour program for school directors and teachers; and the Międzynarodowa Szkoła Mentorów delivers international Level 5 and Level 7 certification in partnership with AQR (UK). Adjacent offerings include workshops for internal corporate mentors, mentoring-implementation consulting, stakeholder training, and individual mentoring processes facilitated through a member mentor database. A self-produced 'Podcast o mentoringu' series (13+ episodes) and a new video format launched in 2026 serve as content marketing.

The association operates as a member-governed community with a selective admission process, quarterly member assemblies (66th held in Pińczów in June 2026), and a board led by President Grzegorz Dobek (since 2023), Vice Presidents Aleksandra Stanković and Piotr Wiroński, and board member Witold Ekielski. Revenue is derived from three streams: training and course fees (the flagship course priced at 2,900 PLN in 2024, up from 2,400 PLN in 2023), recurring membership dues, and bespoke consulting and mentorship services delivered to organizations such as Ergo Hestia and Regionalny Ośrodek Polityki Społecznej (ROPS) Kraków. Customer segments span business (corporations seeking internal mentor development), education (schools and academics), and individual mentees/aspiring mentors. Geographic operations are concentrated in Kraków and Warsaw with national reach across Poland and the Małopolska region.
