Mentor Year Program
Professional Development Grant Program
The Mentor Year Program provides a small, familiar community for professionals seeking growth through mentorship. Through 1:1 Mentee/Mentor relationships, regular participant meetings, and monthly 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.
The Mentor Year Program is excited to offer grants for both Mentors and Mentees to seek professional development opportunities.
Grants will be available for up to $250 USD per person. Up to twelve grants will be distributed annually, six for Mentors and six for Mentees.
