Become a Mentor

Welcome to the PGA of Ontario Mentorship Program.  Introduced in 2022, this informal program is designed to connect new members with seasoned PGA of Ontario professionals who serve as mentors. While it enhances the experience for new members, it also provides a fantastic opportunity for any PGA of Ontario member looking to learn about different areas of the industry, or simply expand their network.


Mentors will use their experience and knowledge to help welcome and guide mentees by:

  • Being an ambassador of the PGA of Canada/Ontario, its programming and brand
  • Encouraging participation in PGA programs, events, opportunities
  • Sharing your experience/career pathway/history of being a member
  • Getting to know your mentee and why they became a member of the PGA of Canada/Ontario
  • Introducing your mentee to anyone in your network that can support their growth and enrich their experience as a PGA Professional
  • Making mentees aware of any upcoming education or networking opportunities
  • Inviting your mentee to your facility to see how your facility runs their operation
  • Being a sounding board

Please complete the below form to assist us in pairing the mentor and mentee based on geographical location and/or specialization.

After reviewing the trends of when a mentee and mentor are available to meet, new members who sign up for the Mentorship Program after January 1, 2024 will be matched by the Fall of 2024. 

Are you willing and/or able to take on more than one mentee?
What area or region do you work or live in?
What other specializations (aside from your own) can you offer insight into for a new apprentice?
