International Mentoring Network Organization

International Mentoring Network Organization

The International Mentoring Network Organization – [http://www.imno.org IMNO] , an official 501c3 non-profit organization, is the founder of the Open Source Mentoring Movement. IMNO is the hub where individuals submit interviews they conduct with their ideal professional mentor so the mentor's advice, knowledge, and experience can be shared with everyone. IMNO gives a reason for individuals to interview their ideal mentor: making professional mentoring available to everyone.

History of the Open Source Mentoring Movement

IMNO began when three University students (Chris Deaver, Jetmir Hysi, and Patrick Tedjamulia) identified the lack of professional mentoring available to the general population. If you did not belong to a university, club, or professional association; you could not access the knowledge, advice, and vision of the alumni in their respective organizations.

After studying the open source methodology, they connected the concepts of open source and professional mentoring and created an opportunity for young aspiring professionals to develop themselves in proactive, powerful ways no matter where they lived, what school they attended, or what organization they belonged to. The idea was to empower individuals with an honorable reason to interview their ideal mentor: to share the mentor's advice, knowledge, and vision with the rest of the world. Chris, Jetmir, and Patrick labeled the idea "Open Source Mentoring".
