Enroll in the AHEPPP Mentor Program

Since 2016, AHEPPP’s Mentor Program has connected new and seasoned professionals to promote an environment of guidance, support, and resource sharing among our members.

What is an AHEPPP Mentee?

A mentee is an AHEPPP member who has a desire to broaden their professional development in their field of parent and family programming and/or AHEPPP leadership. Mentees have a willingness to be advised, trained, and counseled by a mentor. Mentees can be new or veteran members of the Association. Mentees can be either brand new to higher education or mid to senior-level professionals with vast experience and less than 3 years of working with parents/families.



Program Timeline: January 2025-December 2025

Description: AHEPPP mentors and mentees, dedicated to the partnership, will experience personal and professional growth navigating the ins and outs of the AHEPPP organization, parent and family programming, and their professional role within higher education.

Qualifications and Responsibilities of Mentees:

• Open to learning and exploring new ideas
• Take the initiative to develop a professional relationship with your mentor
• Commit to monthly communication with your mentor
• Ask questions, engage and take ownership of your professional development
• AHEPPP's Mentor Program is a great resource for everyone! While Mentees are traditionally professionals with less than 3 years of experience in parent/family engagement, this professional development opportunity is available to all active AHEPPP members interested in elevating their resources and skill development.

Recruitment for Mentors and Mentees occurs regularly throughout the year. Applications for both mentors and mentees will be accepted year-round. The Mentors Program will provide onboarding opportunities, monthly communications, and high-level support to both groups.
