The MLQ Project Manager: Mentorship Program will be vital to the creation and implementation of this new MLQ program.
More on the MLQ Mentorship Program: Though MLQ is not a year-round league, there is no reason our programming needs to stop when fall hits. MLQ has a range of athletes and volunteers and many are involved in the USQ season on some level. We plan to connect established leaders and new innovators in the sport. Our hope is that this mentorship program will connect players, officials and volunteers of varying experience levels. Outside of creating collaboration between community members to share new ideas and perspectives, our aim is for these mentors and mentees to create meaningful relationships in their lives and lasting friendships off the pitch.
The MLQ Project Manager will report directly to the MLQ Commissioners. If you are a hyper-organized, deadline-driven individual with a knack for finding solutions and learning things quickly, this is the volunteer role for you!
