IAVAT Mentor Program Open for Sign Up

We are excited to be offering the mentoring program again this year!  We will also be partnering with University Council on their mentorship program.  This collaboration is going to help us continue to grow and meet the needs of all of our early career teachers.  If you are interested in participating in the IAVAT Mentorship Program, please select the role that best fits you below and sign up!

This year we have a goal to have the matches completed before IAVAT conference, giving you an opportunity to meet your match in person! The deadline to sign up for the mentor program will be May 31st, 2024!  This deadline does not apply to those that will be first year teachers.  We will continue to accept those wanting a mentor; however, you may not have your match at IAVAT Conference, if completed after the deadline.

Mentee: Any teacher who has 5 years or less of Ag Education experience, starting a new FFA program, is transitioning from industry to education, or is coming to IL from a different state.

Mentor: Any teacher who is willing to regularly communicate with their mentee while sharing tips, tricks, new ideas, lessons learned, and curriculum.
