MRPA Mentorship Program

For the past four years, MRPA Mentorship Program took applications for both mentors and mentees interested in being a part of a mentorship program. This is a program hosted by the Young Professional and Student Network to help park and recreation students and professionals grow professionally in the field through meaningful connections. 

Applications were reviewed and there were 21 mentor / mentee pairs in 2024.  There were 26 mentor / mentee pairs in 2023. There were 24 pairs for the program in 2022 and 20 pairs for the program's first year in 2021.  

The MRPA Mentorship Program was formed to help park and recreation students and professionals grow professionally in the field through meaningful connections. The program enables students and career professionals to be paired with an experienced or distinguished professional for an experience that will last a lifetime.

Information about the 2025 program will be announced in December 2024.  Thank you!
