  • Mentorship

    Mentoring can play a positive role in fostering personal and professional growth. As part of Leadership Little Traverse, you will be given the opportunity to develop a strong relationship with a mentor over the course of the program. By serving as a bridge between monthly sessions, mentors will provide continuity and help each participant maximize the impact of the experience. The Mentoring Program will benefit both the mentor and the participant. The mentor offers information, advice, and encouragement. The participant offers a new perspective, energy and potential. You'll both learn and grow from this experience!
