Our Fresh Approach to Mentorship

The WORTH Association Mentorship Program enables a relationship with a professional in the recreation, tourism, and hospitality field. Mentees will be matched with an experienced leader who will be your mentor for a 6-month period. Over that duration, the mentees will have the opportunity to engage with a positive role model, build leadership skills, and develop connections within the community with the goal of accelerating their leadership ambitions. In addition to regular mentorship conversations, the program includes access to WORTH Association events, resources and workshops.
