Mentor Program

We will connect YNPN Lowcountry members with experienced professionals from the nonprofit field. Mentors and mentees will be matched through a combination of application responses and feedback from the speed networking match night. YNPN Lowcountry will accept between five and ten mentor/mentee partners for the initial pilot program.
