ASPIRE Mentor Application: Open

The ASPIRE Young Professionals are seeking Mentors to apply for the 2026 Mentorship Program, which will start September 1st. ASPIRE’s goal is to find enthusiastic executives and leaders who are passionate about helping young professionals develop in their careers. As a Mentor, you will be responsible for assisting your Mentee with setting career and professional development goals and offering perspective from your personal experiences.

Note: Mentors must be members of the Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce. Search the Directory to confirm, or contact Tyler Bass.

TIME COMMITMENT

The 2026 Program will begin September 1st, and it will end February 28th. Throughout the six-month program, Mentors and Mentees are required to:

  • Meet four times for one-on-one mentorship. ASPIRE will provide optional resources and tools to help guide your meetings. We encourage our pairings to meet as often as they can but four meetings are required.

  • Establish professional goals and a road map to reaching these goals. The goals and road map must be submitted to Tyler Bass upon completing your first meeting.

  • Attend the ExecConnect Networking Event to meet other Mentors and Mentees in the program in after-hours setting.

  • Mentors & Mentees are required to check-in after each meeting, and mentees are required to give feedback when the program is finished.

  • Mentors are also required to provide a brief professional bio and high resolution headshot upon applying. These will be used for our Mentorship Program social media campaign.
