Applications for the 2023 fall intake of the Amplify Horse Racing Mentorship Program is currently open and will conclude June 30. The program seeks to provide a first step for youth and young adults who want to learn more about the Thoroughbred industry by matching them with experienced industry professionals who can offer career guidance. The fall session will run from August through October.
The suggested age range for mentee candidates is 15-25, with no restrictions based on academic achievement. All applicants must be residents of the United States, U.S. territories or Canada.
Potential mentors can apply at any time and will be paired with a mentee when the right match comes along.
This year, Amplify is introducing four travel awards to outstanding mentees who complete the program having demonstrated a strong work ethic and dedication to pursuing involvement in the Thoroughbred industry. Award recipients will have the opportunity to travel to Kentucky for a weekend of behind-the-scenes tours in November and will be recognized at Amplify's second annual youth and young adult Thoroughbred industry networking event Nov. 13 at the Keeneland Library.
