PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Serica’s AAPI Women’s Leadership Mentorship Program is designed to support and empower Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women as they transition from high-performing mid-career managers to confident, effective senior leaders. This program pairs emerging leaders with experienced mentors who provide guidance, strategic insights, and support to help mentees navigate leadership challenges, build their influence and impact, accelerate their career growth and cultivate balance between career and personal life.

After a successful pilot program, in 2026, Serica will select up to ten mentees based in the Greater NYC area through an application process, who will be paired with Mentors based on Mentee goals and needs.

This program is FREE to selected Mentees. Serica’s Mentors will be volunteering their time for this program.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

  • Structured Mentorship: A 12-month program with regular one-on-one mentor-mentee meetings (monthly) 

  • Community & Networking: Opportunities to connect with a broader cohort of mentors and mentees through 3 in person events in New York City

  • Accountability & Growth: Mentees set personalized leadership goals, while mentors provide feedback, encouragement, and accountability

This program is an opportunity for AAPI women to break barriers, elevate their leadership presence, and advance in their careers with the guidance of those who have walked the path before them.

The deadline to apply is March 31, 2026.
