GIVING TUESDAY 2025: Mentor the Next Generation of Vet Med

Give. Guide. Grow.

Empower the Future of Veterinary Medicine through Mentorship, Resources, and Professional Development

Why This Work Matters

Veterinary medicine impacts everyone — from family pets to food safety, wildlife, and public health. Yet, it remains one of the least diverse professions in the U.S.

When students from marginalized communities lack access to mentors, financial support, or professional networks, entire communities lose out on compassionate, culturally sensitive care.

By empowering inclusive mentorship, we can create a stronger, more innovative, and more compassionate profession.

Our Virtual Mentorship Community

Our virtual community is the heart of Pawsibilities Vet Med. It’s:

Accessible and nationwide — eliminating geographic barriers.

Supportive and inclusive — a safe space for all intersecting identities.

Growth-focused — offering professional development webinars, discussion forums, and job postings.

Through this online platform, mentors and mentees connect one-on-one, share experiences, and access training that prepares them for meaningful, long-term relationships.

Every gift this Giving Tuesday helps sustain this life-changing platform.
