Our Mentorship Program is open to anyone, regardless of TPRA membership or gender identity. Our goal for this program is to align mentors and mentees to address and support the needs of our membership. Please be sure to review participant expectations prior to applying.

Mentor & Mentee Expectations

By setting clear guidelines and expectations, both mentors and mentees can derive maximum value from the mentorship program, fostering a positive and productive mentoring relationship. Here is a list of guidelines and expectations for program participants:

Allocate sufficient time for regular meetings (30 - 60 minutes on average).
While Mentors will facilitate and serve as role models in this relationship, by participating in the program, both Mentors and Mentees will come prepared with topics for one another, and be available, receptive, committed, and honest with each other.
