What's Involved?

This will allow your mentor to effectively support you. Sessions with your mentor are a safe, supportive, and confidential space.

Be respectful of your mentor鈥檚 commitment to supporting you. Make sure to be on time for meetings and communicate any concerns with your mentor or a staff member.
