Join the Presidential Precinct Alumni Mentorship Program

Unlock the Next Stage of Your Leadership Journey

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

Whether you are scaling an organization, navigating a career transition, launching a venture, tackling a complex challenge, or seeking strategic advice, this program provides direct access to experienced leaders who have built businesses, shaped public policy, strengthened institutions, led global organizations, and driven meaningful change in their fields.

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.

How the Program Works

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

The program includes:

  • Six months of mentorship

  • Approximately six hours of engagement over the course of the program

  • One virtual conversation per month with your mentor

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

  • A mentorship experience that can be highly structured or organically guided by the needs and interests of the mentor-mentee pair

Our goal is simple: to create meaningful relationships that help Presidential Precinct alumni grow as leaders and increase their impact in their communities, organizations, and countries.
