Within the ALLILON network

Members

Participation in the ALLILON network is completely free of charge. Members have access to the entire ALLILON network (Mentors, Local Coordinators, Members) as well as to our events. They can communicate with other members and with all management bodies of our network and get to know each other primarily through their participation in our LinkedIn group and on our website.

The only obligation each member undertakes is to respond as best as possible when asked by another member, usually a younger one, about their experiences in studies, career, and entrepreneurship when that response may be helpful for the younger member’s professional efforts. The response should be selfless, meaning without any compensation, and consists of sharing their own relevant experiences, thereby guiding or supporting the younger member who is seeking new opportunities or horizons, better networking, or new collaborations in their postgraduate studies, career, or entrepreneurial initiatives. All of this is done in a manner that promotes a spirit of solidarity and mutual support and encourages our youth to develop their initiatives and efforts in the professional arena.

In this way, each of our members serves as a potential small mentor, and ALLILON as a whole represents a space of professional solidarity and mutual support, collaboration, and networking that is continuously expanding.

If you are a registered member of our website, you can search for members, mentors, and our member companies.

  1. The rule is for “one-on-one” sessions, meaning one mentor with one interested party (mentee). The mentor shares their own experiences and, through them, guides and supports the younger member who is seeking new opportunities or horizons. They pay special attention to help the mentee understand and better network. The mentor promotes the values of ALLILON and cultivates a spirit of solidarity, mutual support, meritocracy, transparency, and initiative for personal and common good. They generally encourage our youth to develop their initiatives and efforts in the professional arena. They promote collaboration and useful networking.
  2. The mentorship of ALLILON is primarily “strategic” in its approach, meaning it seeks to assist in the important decisions the mentee is called to make and is based on relatively short, often online meetings, primarily one-on-one, lasting about 40–45 minutes (and 20 minutes in a speed mentoring format) and focused on the inquiries and questions of the mentee.
  3. Our mentors remain strictly volunteers and provide their advice within the context of ALLILON purely altruistically.
  4. The entire system of ALLILON’s mentorship has been carefully constructed so that mentors have control over the time they invest in each mentee and collectively in ALLILON’s mentorship. Thus, the prospective mentor can choose on their registration form: a) to narrow the range of topics for which they will be a mentor, and/or b) to be a mentor only for speed mentoring cases within specific events of ALLILON with some university or other organization in Greece or abroad. In each such case, the online time required from the mentor is strictly one hour. ALLILON organizes up to 6 such events for 2023.
  5. In events with other organizations, mentor groups are formed where 1 to 5 mentors meet up to 20 interested parties, usually youth or students, for 40 minutes. Depending on the topic of the group session, more specific instructions are given to the participants.
  6. The interested party (mentee) has two main obligations: 1. To carefully study the mentor’s profile and consult them on topics covered by the mentor’s profile, and 2. To focus on some significant, “strategic” choice or decision for their future. This does not mean that they cannot consult the mentor even at the stage where they are starting to explore the topic that concerns them, but the topic must be important.

Local Coordinators promote the goals and actions of ALLILON in their area. They are the recognized points of contact in their city or country. They help expand the networks and organize events with selected entities with which ALLILON develops partnerships.

In countries or cities where ALLILON has a strong presence and recurring events, there will be a group of Local Coordinators, usually consisting of 2 to 5 members. Each member of the Local Coordinators’ team will have at least one of the following roles:

  • Head of the Local Coordinators’ team: Responsible for overseeing and organizing all actions of the Local Coordinators’ team and will be the main communication channel between the Local Coordinators and the communications team and management of ALLILON.
  • Local Coordinator for organizing the aforementioned events.
  • Local Coordinator for promoting the member and mentor networks: Primarily informs youth who can benefit from ALLILON’s member and mentor networks.
  • Local Coordinator for the use of ALLILON’s social networks at the local or central level.
  • Local Coordinator for donations (only within Greece).

Members of a Local Coordinators’ team will work collaboratively and flexibly under the guidance of the team leader. They will meet and communicate regularly with each other as well as with other structures of ALLILON.

Each Member can fill in the details of an organization or a company in their profile and request that their company or organization also become a Member Company or Member Organization of ALLILON. The same applies to our members who are Freelancers.
