One of the many advantages of AFA membership is access to the wide network of AFA professionals who participate in the AFA Mentoring program. The AFA Mentoring program provides Aspirants, who are generally new advisers, or those aspiring to be an adviser, with the opportunity to connect with an experienced AFA adviser as their professional Mentor.

Mentors are fellow AFA members who have experience, insight and practical know-how that Aspirants benefit from. AFA Mentors have often benefited from having an experienced Mentor themselves, and as a way of giving back to the profession, they commit their time willingly to assist Aspirants. The Guide to AFA Mentoring is designed to support both Aspirants and Mentors in making the most of the mentoring relationship.
