Send ideas, suggestions, or volunteer willingness to mentorprogram@fwpmi.org. 

If you are a past Mentor or Mentee, please be sure your profile is updated. 

PMI:  Why Social Impact Matters

“Projects have the power to make a better world – to create new jobs; advance diversity, equality and inclusion; provide essential infrastructure; enhance education; improve public health and safety."

As part of PMI’s 50^th Anniversary Celebration in 2019, PMI partnered with the United Nations to identify 17 Sustainable Development Goals.  From the PMI website, “The UN's Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice.”
