Mentorship Program

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 the TPRM community. 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:

  • Mentorship relationships are intended to last a year with at minimum quarterly discussions; however, Mentors and Mentees can determine the appropriate length of the relationship based on needs.

  • Demonstrate a strong commitment to the mentorship program and the development of the mentee.

  • 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.

  • If the mentor and/or mentee hasn't reached out and/or responded within one month of receiving your match email, then please complete our Rematch Form (below) to receive a new mentor or mentee.

Mentorship Program Application

The Third Party Risk Association (TPRA) is excited that you have chosen to participate in our Mentorship Program.  Anyone may apply to be a mentor or mentee within this program, regardless of gender identity. If it is your goal to be matched with a TPRM professional of a specific gender, please contact TPRA or note your preference below.


Application Process

  1. In order to be properly matched with a mentor/mentee, please complete the application below. 

  2. Following submission of the form, you will receive an automated email confirming the success of your submission. Check your junk email for this message.

  3. Once you have been matched with a mentor or mentee, you will be notified via email. Please keep in mind that we match mentors and mentees when there are enough submissions. This may result in a longer wait time. If your rematch is time-sensitive, please specify that in the "Anything else we should know?" section of the form.​

  4. Once you have received your match, you may begin the mentorship relationship by setting up your first meeting.


Things to Keep In Mind

  1. TPRA does not provide oversight or direction on your mentorship relationship. It is up to the mentorship pair to decide the direction of the experience.

  2. While the Mentor will facilitate and serve as a role model in this relationship, by participating in this program, both Mentor and Mentee should come prepared with topics for each other and be available, receptive, committed, and honest with each other.

  3. TPRA will send out an annual feedback form, checking in on the experience of participants.


We look forward to hearing back from you on the success of the program. If you have any other questions or concerns regarding the Mentorship Program, please contact Kelsey Haney at kelsey.haney@tprassociation.org.
