The CoalitionWILD Mentorship Programme is a six-month virtual program aimed at building collaborative and cross-generational relationships between emerging young conservation leaders (under 35 years of age) and senior conservation professionals. Participants in the program are not required to complete a project, task, or report. Rather, we encourage both mentors and mentees to set personal and professional goals for their journey together during their first meetings.

CoalitionWILD places an emphasis on co-learning, co-creating, and co-mentoring throughout the program, highlighting the importance of cross-generational interactions and conversations.

Applications are open for young professionals to join the Coalition Wild mentorship Programme as a Mentor. This program is built upon an understanding of equal exchange, providing you with the platform to also learn from your partner, gain a new perspective, and re-energize your passion. Mentors should hold at least 10 years of experience in a related conservation field or topic. 

Prior to submitting your application, please consider the following expectations for your involvement:

1. A commitment to consistent meetings with your mentorship partner for a six-month period. We suggest meeting one or two times per month for one hour per meeting, however the actual amount that you meet will be mutually agreed on by you and your pair.
2. Be actively involved by attending group meetings, responding to emails and requests from organizers, and communicating with other participants.
3. Provide feedback on the program throughout the six-months period.
4. Uphold confidentiality between you and your pair. Form a relationship based on trust and respect.
5. Have fun and invest in your engagement! What makes this program great is YOU. The more you interact within the program, the more you and others will receive.
