As part of the conference, we’re launching the
2022 SFI Conference Green Mentor Cohort: a four-month mentorship program for select conference attendees to support students and young professionals interested in a green career.
Open to Americans and Canadians of all backgrounds in the forest and conservation sector, the mentorship program will start in June and end in September.
Joining is a commitment of just two or three hours a month of your time. Plus, mentors and mentees get to meet in person at the 2022 SFI/PLT Annual Conference!
“Being matched with someone also in my field gave me the opportunity to still be a part of and discuss the industry in depth, which really made a world of difference as I navigated my future goals and aspirations… I’m quite confident I have built a relationship that I can continue far into my career” — Alexandra Lalande, PLT Canada Green Mentee
By sharing your professional wisdom and experience, you can make a difference in a young person’s career and help foster the growth and diversity of the forest and conservation sector.
