Learn about the art of mentoring

The Guiding Lights Weekend is a playful, experiential conference on the art of mentoring founded by local author and educator Eric Liu. Held each January at Seattle Center during National Mentoring Month, the conference attracts over 500 people from around the city, state and country from schools and universities, businesses, non-profits, social services and the private sector to learn concrete ways to mentor, motivate and inspire.

This year's conference, Friday and Saturday, January 30-31, consists of two days of hands-on workshops led by luminary leaders, teachers and mentors, interactive panels, talking circles, big idea presentations and a community rally on Saturday night to engage the community in the effort to transform lives through mentoring for adults and youth.   

Registration is $150 per person until December 6th after which it will go up to $200 for Partners (and $225 for the general public). Learn more
