Mentor Year Program Infomercial

About

The mission of the Mentor Year Program is to provide a formal mentorship program where members build relationships with members in support of their professional development.

The International ACAC 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.

Current Mentors and Mentees: read more about the professional development grant program. Grant applications are currently closed, but will reopen for the second half of 2024.
