Mentor Connect

Mentor Connect supports opportunity and advancement for new communication professionals.

PRSA supports professionals and students by connecting them with experienced specialists who will coach, lead and advise them through Mentor Connect

Mentor Connect uses the MyPRSA platform to help PRSA and PRSSA members build connections and form mentoring relationships with each other. Mentees will use the mentor directory to find a mentor who is able to guide them towards their professional goals. Anyone can benefit from having a mentor, no matter your career stage, as long as you have the commitment to grow and desire to connect.

Both mentors and mentees will have access to dedicated MyPRSA communities to learn, share resources and knowledge, and provide feedback about their experience.

    How to participate:
    • Mentors and mentees can sign up using the registration form.
    • After registering, mentors and mentees will be given instructions on setting up their mentoring profiles and, for mentees, how to connect with a mentor.
    • The program is open to new participants year-round.
    • Mentors will be required to attend a recorded training webinar  before enrolling. 

    Participants will be required to sign a participation agreement outlining the goals and structure of the relationship. Participants must be active PRSA or PRSSA members. An exception is given to non-members who are seeking mentoring for the APR/APR+M and are members of participating organizations.

    If you’re interested in participating as a mentor or mentee, or have any questions, please contact Susan Belanich at susan.belanich@prsa.org

    Potential mentors and mentees can apply using the application forms.
