The Southwest Section of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Planning Association is pleased to announce the fifth year of our Mentorship Program!
The Mentorship Program is designed to bring practicing professionals and students together in ways that enrich the quality of the student experience through face-to-face and e-mentoring interactions with experienced, practicing planning professionals. It is the intent of the program to be open to not only planning students but also those in related studies such as architecture, geography, public administration, etc. Additionally, the Section is seeking to improve our connections with colleges and universities across the region to work together to cultivate clear connections between classroom and practice.
Please see the program guide for additional details. Our 2024-2025 program included 19 students from three different universities paired with areawide professionals.
Current students, recent grads, and prospective mentors are encouraged to apply to the program by September 30th. We aim to launch this year’s program in the fall.
