PMWL Mentoring Program

 

GROW TOGETHER. LEAD TOGETHER.

At PMWL, we believe the strongest leaders grow in community. That’s why our Mentoring Program brings together passionate professionals across public media. Whether you’re at a station, or a supporting organization… a seasoned pro, or brand new to the system—this program is for you! PMWL connects emerging voices with experienced leaders to learn from one another, challenge each other, and rise together.

Whether you’re eager to share what you’ve learned or ready to soak up wisdom, this program is designed for you. As a mentor or mentee, you’ll gain a trusted partner in your professional journey, build lasting relationships, and expand your network across the public media system.

There’s power in giving—and receiving—guidance. And there's joy in doing it together.

Step in. Sign up. Let’s lead the future of public media—together.
