Our Community
PiLA's alumni community is absolutely essential to our mission. Working in a diverse set of fields, alumni are able to connect personally and professionally over a shared commitment to sustainable development in Latin America. Many fellows are actively involved in PiLA's programming as donors, volunteers, mentors, and members of a governing body known as the "Fellowship Advisory Council (FAC)". The PiLA network is expanding and is more active than ever, and we welcome participation by all PiLA alumni!
Alumni Association
We invite alumni to update their information here to receive news from the PiLA Alumni Association, overseen by the FAC. Membership in the Alumni Association is free and open to all former PiLA fellows. Benefits of registering for the Alumni Association include opportunities to participate in exclusive networking events, the career mentorship program, PiLA orientation sessions and receptions, and networking via the FAC.
Mentorship Program
The aim of the PiLA Alumni Mentorship Program is to support fellows as they transition into and out of their year-long service positions in Latin America. Fellows will be paired with two mentors, each of whom has a distinct role in supporting new fellows. The Country Mentor will aid fellows as they transition to life in Latin America at their host organizations, and the Professional Mentor will help guide fellows as they determine and pursue the next step in their professional journeys. If you are interested in serving as an alumni mentor, please complete this form. We will confirm your availability before matching you with a fellow.
