Mentors

1. Complete the Mentor Application Form.
2. Once you receive an email containing a link to your Mentee's profile, email your Mentee and initiate the conversation.
3. Decide on a mutually convenient meeting time.
4. Before meeting, read the First Meeting Checklist.
5. The rest is up to you!

Mentees

1. Complete the Mentee Application Form. At this time, you will be presented with a choice of two Mentors. Select one. You also have he choice of specifying what you are looking for in a mentor and we will find a mentor that suits your specifications (if applicable).
2. You will receive an email containing a link to your Mentor's profile. Review it so you are ready when they email you to set the first meeting. 
3. Decide on a mutually convenient meeting time.
4. Before meeting, read the First Meeting Checklist. You may want to consider topic(s) that you would like to talk about with your mentor in advance or even bring a list of questions that you may have to your first meeting. 
5. The rest is up to you!
