Mentorship Project

Mentorship Project

ATMCH launched the Mentorship Project in 2002. Since then, numerous MCH programs have received expert mentorship focused on growing and strengthening their program and/or addressing specific programmatic challenges.

Each year when funds are available, ATMCH announces to members the opening of the Mentee Program application period. Mentee Programs accepted into the Mentorship Project are matched with expert Mentors who best fit their programmatic needs and goals. Mentors are paid a consultation fee for a customized, multi-month (February through June) Mentor-Mentee Program engagement. The exact nature of the mentorship is negotiated between ATMCH, the Mentor, and the Mentee Program.

Check out currently/previously funded Mentorship Project examples below. Join ATMCH free of charge to receive notices of upcoming opportunities.
