Mentorship Program

Our Mentorship Program helps Protégés advance their careers and Mentors to give back

Mentorship is the process in which successful individuals help budding professionals acquire new skills, increase their confidence, widen their perspective, and ultimately, enhance their careers and life.

Our Mentorship Program is designed to provide Protégés with guidance and advice on moving their careers to the next level, while also giving Mentors the opportunity to share their wealth of knowledge with up-and-coming PMs and Scrum Masters.

FALL Session applications close at Midnight, September 18th, 2026!

What IS part of the Mentorship Program?

What IS NOT part of the Mentorship Program?

I am passionate about helping aspiring Scrum Masters and Project Managers develop their careers and reach their potential. Nothing is more rewarding than watching mentor-protégé pairs connect, learn from each other, and build lasting professional relationships. Hearing the positive impact the program has on both mentors and protégés reinforces the value of mentorship, and seeing mentors return to participate in future sessions is a testament to the strength of our community.
