Mentor/Mentee matches can expect approximately a 5-month (January 2026- May 2026) commitment. Matches will determine the frequency of their meetings throughout the program, however, OWWA suggests scheduling a meeting once per month. Matches are created based on goals, experiences, interests, and career paths.
Mentors
Our mentors are experienced professionals in the water industry who wish to give back to the industry and help develop and guide the new generation of water professionals. Mentors will share their knowledge and experience with their mentee. This could include skills and leadership development, transfer of institutional knowledge, and industry insights. As a mentor, you will help to promote a culture of generosity and open dialogue in the industry, and ensure young professionals get the most out of their OWWA membership.
Mentees
Our mentees are young professionals in the early stages of their career who wish to develop their industry skills and knowledge. Mentees will have the opportunity to discuss career goals, skills development opportunities, and gain insight on career paths and industry knowledge.
