About

The mission of the Mentor Year Program is to provide a formal mentorship program where members build relationships with members in support of their professional development. The International ACAC Mentor Year Program provides a focused, familiar community for professionals seeking growth through mentorship. Through 1:1 Mentor/Mentee relationships, regular participant meetings, and regular committee updates, Mentees will build their skill-set, knowledge base, and resources for their own personal and professional development and for the benefit of the student populations that they serve.
