Building collaborative and cross-generational relationships between emerging young conservation leaders and senior conservation professionals.

About The Global Mentorship Program

Together, participants gain perspective, find community and connection, discover solutions and solidarity, and bridge the generational and cultural gaps in the conservation sector.

Participants in the program are not required to complete a project, task, or reports. Rather, we encourage both the Mentor and Mentee to set personal and professional goals for their 6-month experience in the program 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.

Why you should apply as Mentee: Many successful people credit having a good mentor as a key factor to their success. A mentor is an invaluable resource to shift from surviving to thriving in your field, to gain insight into past experiences and tricks of the trade, can increase and improve networks, and can provide feedback on working styles, attitude, technical knowledge, methodologies, etc. This program provides the opportunity to expertly match you with a committed and experienced mentor in a casual but structured environment.

Why you should apply as Mentor: Being successful in what you do is not only measured by your outputs, reports, implemented projects, or funds raised, but also by the road you pave and the legacy you leave. Investing your time into an emerging conservationist enables and supports not only future generations, but also the future of our planet. 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.
