Qualifications of a Mentor

The mentor relationship is the most critical component of our program. Having a good mentor can mean the difference between veteran engagement and disengagement. For this reason, we approach our mentor selection process with much consideration and deliberation.

Here are the general qualities we seek in our mentors:

  • passionate about helping veterans
  • good listener
  • have achieved success/is a leader in his/her profession
  • being a veteran is a plus, but not a requirement

Beyond those qualifications, we match mentors to our veterans by compatibility of interests and personality. If you are interested or know someone who is interested in being a Salute Colorado veteran, please contact us.
