The Presidential Precinct Alumni Mentorship Program

The Presidential Precinct Alumni Mentorship Program connects outstanding alumni with accomplished members of our community for six months of personalized mentorship and professional guidance.

Unlock the Next Stage of Your Leadership Journey

Through monthly one-on-one conversations, mentors serve as trusted sounding boards, advisors, and thought partners—helping alumni navigate challenges, identify opportunities, and accelerate their impact.

We aim to create meaningful relationships that help Presidential Precinct alumni grow as leaders and increase their impact in their communities, organizations, and countries.

We will review only the first 50 completed applications. We encourage interested alumni to apply as early as possible.

Selected mentees will be matched with a mentor based on their goals, industry, interests, and current challenges. The program includes:

  • Six months of mentorship

  • One virtual conversation per month with your mentor

  • Flexible communication formats, including Zoom, WhatsApp, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or another mutually preferred platform

Meet the Mentors

Our mentors are members of the Presidential Precinct's Global Advisory Council as well as other members of our community who bring decades of experience across business, entrepreneurship, diplomacy, healthcare, public policy, nonprofit leadership, and organizational growth.
