Words from the Global President
Welcome to the Global Mentoring Network (RGM), an international organisation that unites cultures, languages and professions to raise mentoring up as a discipline of high human, ethical and social impact.
We believe in mentoring that grows out of reflected experience, in which what has been lived becomes shared wisdom and a profound act of humanisation.
We are organised as an international ecosystem of cultural and language communities, guided by ethical and participatory governance and supported by training and outreach platforms that drive the professionalisation of mentors worldwide.
Since 2013 we have been building a network of worldwide standing.
Today we invite you to join us and leave a legacy that transcends borders and generations.

In 2014, in the city of São Paulo, a group of visionary mentors formed a Steering Committee to lay the foundations of an international mentoring community. Until then known as the Hispanic-American Network of Mentors, the initiative broadened its scope and took the name Global Mentoring Network (RGM), reflecting its vocation to bring together cultures, languages and approaches from all over the world.
Since then, the RGM has evolved into an ecosystem that connects and strengthens sister communities —the Rede Global de Mentores (ReGM) and the Global Mentoring Network (GMN)— with the aim of professionalising mentoring, strengthening its legitimacy and expanding its global impact.
Today, several of those founding mentors still serve on the Steering Committee, which leads the development and consolidation of the organisational model. This vision is moving towards a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO), combining the strength of a global holding of services for mentoring with the autonomy of interconnected multicultural communities.
