2026-2027 Applications Open

Pod Mentorship Program

Eligibility

Who we're looking for

  • You are a current NABEA member. Not a member yet? Join first →
  • You are a student or an early- to mid-career professional with an interest in U.S.–Asia relations.
  • You can commit to at least one one-hour meeting per month from September 2026 through May 2027.
  • You’re ready to show up, engage your pod, and bring something to the table — not just receive mentorship passively.

Applications open in June 2026. The application asks about your background, areas of interest, and what you're hoping to get out of the program. Spots are limited — apply early.
