The New England First Amendment Coalition provides a free mentorship program for journalists working in the region. Reporters, editors, and producers seeking guidance across a variety of professional areas can apply to be paired with a veteran journalist with relevant expertise.
Program Overview
Applicants must submit the form linked below and email their résumé with links to their portfolio. When applying, applicants will be asked to name their top five mentor choices based on their specific goals and mentorship needs. Once the application materials are received, NEFAC will begin working to pair the applicant with a preferred mentor. When a match has been made, the applicant will be notified. Mentors are required to provide at least an hour of their time each month for six months as part of the program, but mentees can agree to other time arrangements that work for both parties.
Partners
