Our Program
Our program matches mentees with mentors through a carefully curated process which prioritizes career goals, compatibility, skill-set, and teachable moments. We have developed five comprehensive methods that our mentors will use as a guide to create the most valuable experiences for mentees. NAAHP’s staff works together with mentors and mentees to accentuate the program’s core values and overall goals.
