The Increasing Representation Mentoring Program is for new and veteran school librarians of color who aspire to deepen their involvement in AASL. This mentorship program will provide insight on a clear pathway to involvement in AASL, including a committee appointment the following year. This year-long program requires a minimum commitment of two conversations per month and attendance at virtual meet-ups taking place quarterly. For this pilot year, participants must attend the AASL 2019 National Conference. Finally, participants will be required to complete a post-mentorship evaluation to improve the success of the program.

Note: Mentor applicants should have at least three years of school librarianship experience.
