How do I get a Mentoring Visit?
Refuges that have
a prime potential for a successful community partnership are invited to
submit an application for a Mentoring Visit. Applications are sent out
to refuges in January and are due approximately 8 weeks later and are
then reviewed by Mentor Team members. Mentor sites are selected in the
Spring with visits occurring throughout the rest of the year.
Selection criteria
include commitment of the refuge manager, existence of a core group of
interested private citizens, and overall potential. Upon selection, two
mentors, one from the nonprofit sector and one from the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, will make arrangements for a site visit.
For more information
contact the Refuge Support Group Coordinator in the National Wildlife
Refuge System Headquarters Office.
