Do you often listen to your friends and colleagues and offer advice? Are you a natural at providing encouragement? Are you able to be objective while being compassionate? Are you easily approachable? If so, the industry needs you, it’s time to STEPUP to the plate!

Applicants are volunteering their time to serve as a mentor for a STEPUP intern for a minimum of one year time period. Over that year period, mentors will act as an advisor to interns by providing coaching, feedback, and other support as the intern goes through the program. A mentor need not work for a distillery but must work in some capacity in the spirits industry. Training materials will be provided to the mentor.
