The AMCD Mentorship Program is a culturally responsive initiative that connects members of the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (AMCD) through shared interests in research, clinical practice, supervision, and cultural identity. This program is grounded in AMCD’s mission:

“To advance and sustain personal growth and improve educational opportunities for members from diverse cultural backgrounds.”
