Mentorship Program

The ACGA mentorship program brings together experienced ranchers who are willing to assist younger or less experienced individuals in navigating the challenges that arise in cattle ranching or agriculture on a day-to-day basis.

A mentor in this program plays a crucial role in identifying the mentee's strengths and weaknesses, and helps bridge any knowledge gaps. When a rancher agrees to become a mentor, they commit to maintaining regular communication with their assigned mentee. The office staff coordinates the assignments based on the mentor's specific area of expertise.

Mentors in the program receive recognition in the Arizona Cattlelog once a year, as well as at the summer convention. Additionally, mentors are expected to stay in contact with their mentees at least twice a month to provide guidance and support.
