The MPRA Mentorship Program is a professional development program designed to bridge the gap between veteran association members and emerging new professionals. It provides opportunities for exchanging information, ideas, and resources between a Mentor and a Mentee.
Through a collaborative, mutually beneficial partnership, Mentors and Mentees will gain new networking opportunities, unique experiences and perspectives, and build a relationship to foster the park and recreation profession. Instead of a one-to-one pairing, the MPRA Mentorship Program will create small group mentoring cohorts of 2-3 mentees with 2-3 mentors to enhance the chances of connection and sustain momentum.
The Mentorship Program is a minimum one-year commitment. After each year, participants will be allowed to re-enroll and be placed with a new cohort.
