The Tall Ships America Mentorship program is a three to four month long professional development opportunity for individuals. Mentees are paired with mentors who will help guide them through the licensing process and testing. Mentors and mentees will meet once a month for 1 hour, either virtually or face to face, and report back to the oversight committee. Mentees and Mentors are expected to spend at least one hour per month meeting with one another via in person, phone call, or video meetings such as zoom.
