How are the mentoring matches made?
For mentoring partnership to thrive, we match mentors and mentees according to similar interests and hobbies. To do so, we begin by building connections with interested mentors and mentees to get to know them and their expectations for the mentoring partnership.
What is a mentor?
A mentor is someone, of at least 21 years of age, who through life experiences has gained knowledge and is eager to impart their insights to encourage and inspire today’s youth.
What kind of commitments should I expect?
It is recommended that each mentoring partner commits at least four hours per month for the success of their mentoring partnership. Each participant in a mentoring partnership should be committed to giving time and effort to develop their partnership.
What is a mentee?
A mentee is a student who is open to meeting once a week with their mentor and is eager to learn and discover opportunities that align with their academic and career interests.
What should I expect to do when we meet?
Each match is based on shared interests and hobbies. Because of that, activities will vary from match to match. This could include talking, helping with homework, or playing games. Mentor coaches are there to support matches, if any other resources are needed.
