The Birthplace of APRA
Association of Professional Researchers for Advancement

Mentoring Program

Goals

The goal of the APRA-MN Mentoring Program is to provide members with the opportunity to partner with experienced research professionals who can offer support, guidance and assistance with research strategies and resources.

The Mentoring Program will make every effort to match individuals with a Mentor from a similar organization who is experienced in the area(s) of need and within the same geographic proximity. If you have a different need, we will work with you to create a program that is best for you. For example, if you are a researcher from a higher education organization who is interested in learning about an arts organization, we certainly can accommodate this.


Benefits

For Mentors:
  • A way to give back to your fellow researchers and the prospect research field
  • An opportunity to raise the awareness of the profession in the fundraising field
  • Networking opportunities with different organizations and researchers
For Mentees:
  • An opportunity to learn about the profession from more experienced colleagues
  • A way to develop research skills and learn new ideas, concepts and perspectives
  • Networking opportunities within the prospect research community
