Mentorship for the Day

Be a mentor or mentee for a virtual or in-person event specifically relevant to your interest and/or expertise. This is a great option for busy students and professionals who want to get to know the community but do not have the capacity to commit to a full cycle.

Journey Mentorship

If you would like to be matched one-to-one with a mentor or mentee for the duration of a three month Journey, explore to find the right one for you. This is a great option for those who want to form a long-lasting supportive relationship. Each pair determines the timing and format of their sessions, and at least one hour-long session is required each month.
