Mentor Important Dates

The primary goal of the mentoring component is to assess and match each cadet with an unrelated adult in the community in an effort to develop a sustained relationship. The cadet and family are asked to nominate a volunteer from their community to be the cadet’s mentor. This adult acts as a friend, companion, supporter and role model to the cadet while engaging in activities of mutual interest. The mentor reinforces the new skills of the cadets and acts as a catalyst to personal growth and achievement. Mentors are asked to help guide and counsel the cadet as he or she begins the transition to employment, higher education, vocational training, military or completing the high school diploma. Mentoring is an act of community building. Mentors are entrusted with molding a young person into a contributing and productive member of society.

Mentor Days are for Cadets and Mentors only. Please respect the development of this important relationship. For more information, contact (360) 473-2614 or Mentor.MailMIL-WYA@mil.wa.gov

Due to COVID regulations, on campus events are currently on hold. Please contact Tari Pierce at Tarilee.Pierce@mil.wa.gov for options available to complete the mandatory mentor training.
