The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation's Scholars, Fellows, and Mentors work together to guide and inspire the next generation of Canadian leaders.
About Our Mentors
While Fellows are the academic senior counterparts to our Scholars, Mentors provide the essential non-academic perspective. As senior role models outside of the Academic setting, Mentors are inspiring, eminent practitioners and successful leaders in their own right.
Mentors stem from various sectors and professional domains, whether private, public, para-public or non-profit. Their professional achievements and range of skills are of great value to our Scholars.
They share their knowledge, for instance, about communication and public engagement, team and project management, financial and entrepreneurial skills, social innovation, negotiation, networking, creative and design thinking, and resilience in the face of adversity.

Becoming a Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Mentor
As with the rigorous selection process to choose our Scholars, we aim to recruit Mentors based on criteria including gender, culture and language, ethnicity and community of origin, Indigenous people, achievement, diverse perspectives and ideologies, and commitment to the concept of engaged leadership.
