Mentorship Program

Tell me and I forget,
teach me and I may remember,
involve me and I learn.

Our Program

The AZ Cyber Initiative Mentorship Program links Arizona high school students with national experts in cybersecurity, IT, and related fields. Through regular virtual or in-person sessions with experienced mentors, students acquire crucial insights and tools to advance their careers.

Our Purpose

Program participants learn about various career paths, including potential challenges and pitfalls, from experienced mentors. The ultimate goal of a mentorship is to help students become more confident and resilient in whatever they choose to pursue.

Our Process

The AZ Cyber Initiative matches mentors and mentees based on shared interests and availability, typically pairing one mentor with one mentee. Both parties commit to building and maintaining a productive mentoring relationship as part of the program.
