The practice of mentorship is key to fostering the development of innovative and passionate leaders in the field of resilience. Mentorship opens opportunities, fosters a sense of purpose and meaning, and supports diversity in the field. For Giving Tuesday on December 3, support the next generation of leaders in the field of resilience and natural disaster recovery by donating to the Southeast and Caribbean Disaster Resilience Partnership (SCDRP) Mentorship Program! The SCDRP Mentorship Program is the only mentorship program that supports emerging resilience leaders specifically in the Southeast and Caribbean region. The program matches experienced climate and resilience professionals with graduate students and early- to mid-career professionals who have a desire to grow professionally. Mentees receive career support/guidance and access to opportunities and networks. Mentors receive the opportunity to strengthen leadership skills and form a meaningful connection with SCDRP mentees, who are innovative and energized emerging leaders in the field of resilience.?
