Since 1988, the Association of California Community College Administrators (ACCCA) has sponsored a statewide mentor program intended to prepare junior-level administrators for senior positions and to create a more diverse pool from which future college leaders can be drawn. This article is an initial report of this program. As the report describes, the mentor program has contributed to the career advancement of proteges. It has also promoted the personal growth of both mentors and proteges. The report concludes with recommendations to strengthen the program, better measure its effectiveness, and encourage replication in other states.
