Mentor Program

The MNPL Mentor Program offers students opportunities to expand their networks, and develop mentoring relationships with nonprofit professionals.

Students are linked with nonprofit leaders in the Puget Sound region for the duration of their studies. Students meet regularly with their mentors to talk about their professional goals and aspirations. Mentors often share their experiences and insights, make introductions, and help mentees identify career opportunities in the sector.
