Mentorship Program

The AAPPR mentor program is a way to support our members with their professional development needs by facilitating and establishing mentoring relationships. The program is designed around cohorts that pair mentees and mentors to work together over an eight-week time period. Interested mentees and mentors will be asked to apply for a given cohort and will be matched with a partner that best meets the skills and knowledge they hope to gain through the program.
