Mentoring Program

The purpose of our Mentoring Program is to provide a one-on-one opportunity for prospective, new, and practicing professional organizers to obtain support, guidance and assistance from a veteran organizer. Mentors help their mentees start, grow and/or expand their businesses as well as develop or learn new skills. You do not have to be a member of NAPO or NAPO-CT to become a mentee, although it is recommended. For more information, please send an email to mentoring@napoct.com.
