Will my current job as a program mentor be considered relevant work experience for a Master's?

It depends. Your role as a program mentor can count as relevant work experience for your master's application if it aligns with your intended field of study.
Admissions committees look for connections between your job duties and the skills needed for the program - such as leadership, communication, or technical expertise. Highlight how your mentoring experience has prepared you for graduate study and relates to your academic and professional goals.
Relevance varies by program, so clearly presenting the link between your experience and your chosen field is important.
