Amplify Opens Fall 2025 Mentorship Program for Youth and Young Adults

Amplify Horse Racing is now accepting applications for the Fall 2025 session of its Mentorship Program, open through Tuesday, June 24 at 11:59 PM ET.

Amplify Mentees at Churchill Downs

The fall session will run from August 1 through October 31.

The program is designed for individuals ages 15 to 25 who are curious about careers in the Thoroughbred racing and breeding industry—no prior experience or academic qualifications required. Amplify is also seeking qualified mentors with substantial industry experience who are willing to meet training, background check, and time commitment requirements. Applicants must reside in the United States, U.S. territories, or Canada.

Participants in the program will also be eligible for travel grants to attend immersive industry experiences, including Amplify’s Kentucky Industry Immersion Day in October and the annual end-of-year Student Networking Event in November.

“I learned so much and gained insight into many career opportunities that I didn’t even know existed,” said mentee graduate Tatum Balli. “The knowledge I have gained from Amplify alone is unmatched.”
