Description

Your Role in a Nutshell Key Stats Your Day-To-Day The People You'll Work With Description The adidas Foundation is seeking an expert or expert team to co-develop a mentorship methodology for its United by Sport (UbS) Community of Practice: a global network of organizations using sport to challenge discrimination and exclusion. The focus of this assignment is to design a peer-based mentorship approach that centers mutual learning, trust, and non-hierarchical relationships, enabling practitioners to learn directly from each other through honest, experience-based exchange. The consultant(s) will develop a practical, easy-to-use framework that supports both 1:1 and collective mentorship formats, including guidance, tools, and onboarding content. The methodology should help participants engage in meaningful exchanges, navigate power dynamics and safeguarding considerations, and capture and share key learnings in a simple, low-burden way. The final output will enable the Foundation to independently implement and scale the mentorship offer across future cycles. Proposals and CVs should be submitted separately, with the CVs and portfolios of all involved experts combined into a single PDF document. The proposal should be submitted in the field "Other". Please review the Terms of Reference before applying: Terms of Reference Mentorship Methodology For questions, contact: unitedbysports@adidasfoundation.org.
