Join Emerging Leaders at the Symposium Become a mentor to a young trail steward
s American Trails begins a new year and our next Symposium approaches, our excitement is growing for our upcoming pro- grams, specifically the Hulet Hornbeck Emerging Leaders Scholarship Program. The 2013 Symposium brought 18 young adults from across the country to attend and network with trail professionals to help set the foundation for their future careers. We hope to exceed the incredible 2013 experience, and with national and local community support in both donated time and funding, we are well on our way. While there are many aspects to the Emerging Leaders Program– attending keynote and concurrent sessions, field work days for hands-on trails experience, team building, and exercises to support professional development— the one-on-one mentoring component enhances the overall experience. The Emerging Leaders Program is more than just introducing young people to careers in trails. So often, growth and opportunities occur through the guidance and connections that established trail professionals can provide. Each Emerging Leader is matched with a mentor who has the same area of expertise that our scholarship recipients wish to cultivate in their own careers. Throughout the Symposium, mentors introduce mentees to potential job connections, sit with them at keynotes, and direct them to resources. Many contin- ue to provide guidance after the Symposium has concluded. When you register for the Symposium, we ask that you consider applying to become a mentor— the only thing you have to donate is your time and expertise! When you register, indicate your interest and we’ll follow up with you. We are very proud of our efforts to seek a diverse pool of scholarship applicants this year. We’ve com- mitted to recruiting a cohort that reflects that face of America, and we certainly have seen that in the applicants. Please know that we’re actively seeking the same in our mentors. Many mentors from the last Symposium left remarks stating that
A
as professionals completing our day-to-day tasks, we sometimes lose sight of the big picture and the goals we are trying to reach, but by spending time with the mentees, we were able to rejuvenate our spir- its and reenergize our passion for trails. We are calling on you to join us as a mentor and help make this experience beneficial to all of our Emerging Leaders!
