In honor of , join us today in meeting members of the Firefighter Candidate Mentorship Program. Learn about Benjamin Chou and his Mentee Firefighter Andrew Dolgin. Read more bit.ly/33wflmW

In celebration of , join us to meet members of the FDNY Firefighter Candidate Mentorship Program. This initiative pairs Firefighter Candidates with Fire Officers or Firefighters who serve as their Mentors throughout the hiring process. If the Mentees become Probationary Firefighters, the Mentors also provide them with guidance during the Fire Academy and the early part of their career.

Today, learn about Mentor Engine 298 Firefighter Benjamin Chou and his Mentee Ladder 140 Firefighter Andrew Dolgin.

“I was a Mentee in the Mentorship Program as a Proby. I benefited a lot from the program during that time and I think it’s a great program,” said Chou. “Once I got the chance, I became a Junior Mentor first, and eventually leveled up to having my own Mentees as a Mentor. Andrew was my first Mentee out of five Mentees to graduate from the Fire Academy. He was very motivated and that made mentoring him easy. He really wanted to get on the job, so I tried to help him as best as I could and it went great. Being a Mentor is very rewarding. You see your Mentees in the beginning stages from the hiring process, then the Fire Academy and then to see them walk across the stage at graduation is a great feeling.”

“I was an EMT since 2016 and then I was sworn in as a Probationary Firefighter in 2018. It was helpful to have a Mentor along the way,” added Dolgin. “I had friends on the job who told me what to expect, but my Mentor would give me pointers with workouts and he provided extra reading materials that helped me in the Academy. He also offered his help anytime, was easy to communicate with and he offered a visit to his firehouse to show me what life is like once you become a Firefighter. The Mentorship Program was very valuable for me being a first-generation Firefighter. The top three things that got me through the Academy were reading, working out and communicating with my Mentor.”

“I was in the first FDNY Fire Academy class following 9/11, it was a somber and humbling time to join the Department. It was always in the back of my mind as a Firefighter to one day promote to a leadership role. I was a Firefighter for 12 years before I got promoted, which I think helped me gain knowledge and experience in order to lead. I am looking forward to continuing to lead Firefighters, and make sure they get home safe at the end of the tour. I want to make a positive impact on this Department and leave it better for future generations of Firefighters,” says FDNY Captain Wing Tsang who was promoted today at the FDNY Officers Promotion Ceremony.
