Micro-Mentoring Program

Our Mentoring Programs provide crucial support and guidance to veterans, current service members, and their family members (aged 18+) assisting them in achieving their employment, education, and personal goals.

Through Soldier On’s mentoring initiatives, participants can engage in purposeful and enriching mentor-mentee relationships, fostering personal and professional growth.

Our NEW Micro-mentoring program connects Soldier On participants with career and industry professionals for valuable career discussions without the time commitments or wait-times of traditional mentoring programs.
 
Through one off, 45-minute mentoring sessions, veterans, current service members, and their families can gain invaluable insight into new career paths and begin to develop a clear career goal.
 
Micro-mentoring can be used as a stand-alone session or as a stepping stone into the full 18-week program.
