How It Works:

Each mentee will be assigned to a Mentorship Circle that will meet once per quarter in 2025. Each group will consist of approximately five mentees and one mentor and will be focused on a unique topic. Groups will be assigned during the YANG Mentorship Program Kick-Off Meeting in January.

The goal of these Mentorship Circles is for YANG mentees to experience all three YANG pillars in one program:




Networking

Create strong and long-lasting relationships within your circle.



Professional Development

Learn from your peers and also from a current leader in the industry.



Giving Back

Help others in your circle by offering your opinions and perceptions to various topics and situations.

Through this unique, small-group mentorship program, mentees will benefit from the wisdom of experienced and successful aftermarket veterans, like:
