Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor in the NZSIA Women’s Ski and Snowboard Mentoring Programme. This initiative is designed to support the personal and professional growth of women within the snowsports industry, while also fostering leadership and development opportunities for mentors.
Please note: Snowboard mentors have been pre-selected (SBINZ female examining staff). If this is you, please continue to fill out the form. If not, thank you for interest and we'd love you to apply again in the future.
Mentors will be paired with mentees based on shared goals, interests and location. Time together may include informal check-ins, on-snow development*, career conversations or other forms of guidance. This time will be reimbursed (see details below). The programme will conclude with a feedback form to help us assess the mentoring program's success and improve future mentoring opportunities.
Details:
- Duration: mid July - mid October 2025
- Commitment: min. 8 hours over the season to support your mentee in a way that is meaningful and achievable for both parties
- Reimbursement: 1x day examiner rate (NZSIA employee) or 8 hours at committee rate ($46.50 per hour)
- Location: in-person, phone, online or hybrid
- Requirements: end of season survey
*On-snow development may be offered if agreed upon by the mentor/mentee and is approved by the resort of operation.
An NZSIA Mentoring Guide with further methodologies, tools and resources wil be provided. The NZSIA EDI Taskforce will also be available for questions and support throughout the season.
