Peer Mentoring Program for Wisconsin and Michigan Land Trusts

Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program: Application Period Extended through February 29, 2012

Building on the success of the Peer-to-Peer Mentoring program piloted in Michigan in 2010,  the Land Trust Alliance Midwest Program is teaming up with the Gathering Waters Conservancy in Wisconsin and the Heart of the Lakes Center for Land Conservation Policy in Michigan to offer a peer-to-peer mentoring program in Wisconsin and Michigan in 2012 and 2013.

What As the Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program?

This is an organized effort to match peers of similar experiences throughout the states of Michigan and Wisconsin to learn from one another as a component of both ACE (Advancing Conservancy Excellence) and LEAP (Land Trust Excellence & Advancement Program).  This mentoring program is established to foster relationships and advance learning and sharing opportunities within our land trust community.  In addition to individual visits there will be additional group learning opportunities throughout the year and we will reimburse peers for making one trip to visit another peer.

Is It Right for Me?

We hope so!  The program is designed for people that are willing to share their expertise as well as learn from others doing similar work.  The requirements of the program are that participants make one trip between April 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013, and be willing to host peers at their land trust.

How Do I Apply?

Applications are due by February 29 and should be submitted electronically to MaryKay O'Donnell, Kate Zurlo-Cuva, AND Julie Stoneman. Download a copy of the application.
