BIPOC Mentorship Program
The National Media Awards Foundation is launching a new mentorship program to equip early- and mid-career BIPOC publishing professionals across Canada with the tools they need to succeed in industry-specific leadership roles. Successful mentees will be paired with a Canadian senior industry leader with at least 10+ years of experience (and NMAF or other award-winning publication experience). Applications open January 3, 2022 and close January 24, 2022. The mentorship is to be completed by March 31, 2022 and both mentees and mentors are required to commit eight hours to the mentorship, four to six of which must be spent together in one-on-one meetings.
To apply, download and complete the application form below and send it to the NMAF at staff@magazine-awards.com by 5 p.m. (ET) January 24, 2022. Mentorship applications will be reviewed by the NMAF with input from the Indigenous Community Consultant, and upon approval of a mentorship application, the mentee will be matched with a senior mentor who can help with the topic and goals they have identified.
Applicants will hear back about the status of their application between February 7–11, 2022.
