Mentorship

The American Legion Auxiliary has a mentorship program to assist officers and members become more informed in our organization. This program is to assist younger, less experienced members to partner up with someone more experience in the ALA, programs and the workings of the organization.  It not only assists the partnership but also the Unit but building a better and stronger foundation. Forms for the Mentor Program can be viewed/printed here.
