About our Green Mentor program
Requirements for Green Mentees
In PLT Canada’s Green Mentor program, mentees drive the relationship with their mentors and actively pursue conversations with them. Mentees also develop clear career goals within the forest and conservation sector and reflect on their progress throughout the six-month mentorship match.

- Participate in skill development and self-reflection.
- Engage in a learning process that will help you develop your career pathway. This process might include webinars and training modules in addition to interacting with your mentor.
- Complete the Green Pathway Plan online course by the end of the six-month mentorship term. You will be guided by PLT Canada and your mentor on how to do this.
- Work collaboratively with PLT Canada to ensure that you and your mentor are satisfied with the program.
