The Next 100 Colorado Mentorship Program is a six-month program for a cohort of 10 mentors and 10 mentees designed to help connect Colorado's emerging and seasoned leaders of color through a series of partnerships, network formation, and leadership building. The program will consist of three full cohort gatherings (including an orientation), three one-on-one meetings, and a closing celebration, in addition to an online environment through which the group will be able to connect and share resources. With uncertainty about restrictions on travel and in-person gatherings likely to persist throughout the year, the program will be designed to accommodate virtual gatherings in the short-term with the potential to shift to in-person gatherings as state and national circumstances change.

Participants will:​

Tailor their experience to their individual goals and needs

Establish mentor/mentee relationships, along with relationships with a larger cohort, that ideally last long beyond the structured program

Access people, organizations, events, or other opportunities that they may not otherwise have had access to

Build leadership capacity Learn from experts in DEI, conservation, outdoor recreation, and public lands management
