SVF Mentor Handbook
With the help of the Spokane Veterans Court and our fellow Mentors, we created a Handbook to help all Mentors serve their Mentees. This link takes you to that Handbook. Like other resources, this document is a work in process. It is a Handbook, not a Rulebook.
Mentor Handbook Updated: October 2022
The Handbook is a support document to the monthly Mentor Training. This meeting provides Mentors with knowledge and skills in the areas they need in order to be effective as Mentors.

SVF Policies
The Spokane Veterans Forum has established a Policy document in the spirit that all people participating in SVF meetings and events will encounter a respectful, safe and supportive environment. These Policies establish standards that apply to all SVF volunteers and veteran defendants (Associates) participating in or directly connected to meetings sponsored or supported by SVF.
