TOTA Mentorship Program
New application processing opens July 10, - August 10, 2026
We are excited to announce the relaunch of the TOTA Mentorship Program, an initiative designed to support connection, growth, and leadership across our profession.
Whether you are looking to grow in your career or give back through mentorship, this program offers a meaningful opportunity to engage with colleagues across Texas in a structured, supportive environment. The program will run as a 3-month cohort with opportunities to continue the relationship beyond the formal program if desired.
Why Participate?
Participation in the Mentorship Program offers a valuable opportunity to cultivate meaningful professional connections while gaining insight, guidance, and support from experienced colleagues. Participants also have the opportunity to develop leadership and mentorship skills, which can contribute not only to their own professional growth but also to the advancement of the occupational therapy profession as a whole.
We Are Currently Recruiting:
Mentors with 3 or more years of experience, who are interested in sharing their knowledge and supporting others through mentorship.
Mentees who are seeking guidance in professional, leadership, or skill development.
How to Apply

What to Expect
Applications will be reviewed by the Mentorship Committee, which will thoughtfully match mentors and mentees based on areas of practice, professional goals, and availability. The program will begin with a virtual kickoff and orientation session held at the end of August.
Throughout the three-month program, participants are expected to engage in at least one meeting per month. These meetings may occur in person or via text, email, or virtual platforms, allowing for flexible and accessible communication. In addition, TOTA will provide ongoing support and resources to participants throughout the program.
This program is being led by the TOTA Ad Hoc Mentorship Committee. We look forward to building a strong and connected community of mentors and mentees.
Thank you for your continued commitment to advancing occupational therapy in Texas.
Together, we are building a stronger OT community.
