CIRI Mentorship Program

Mentorship Program

Professional development, encouragement, support and empowerment guided by Alaska Native values.

Virtual Mentoring Program

CIRI’s virtual mentoring program provides mentorship in several areas—careers, culture and more—and cultivates a reciprocal relationship between mentor and mentee, where each participant develops his/her skills through a two-way transfer of experience and perspective.

Program Structure 

The Virtual Mentoring Program uses a two‑pronged recruitment process:

  • Mentor Recruitment: Aug. 14 – Sept. 13, 2026

  • Mentee Recruitment: Oct. 9 – Nov. 8, 2026

The 2027 program session will run from January through June.
