New to mentorship?

You don’t need decades of experience to make a meaningful impact. We believe mentorship can begin at any stage of your career, and that everyone has valuable knowledge, perspectives, and experiences to share. If you’re serving as a mentor or mentor advisor for the first time, we provide training, resources, and ongoing support to help you feel confident in the role and build successful mentoring relationships. More information is available here.

If you are interested in applying to be a mentee, the application will be available soon.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor or mentor advisor, contact us at mentorship@weareamia.org.
