Become a Mentor

LGBTQ+ Mentors receive training from program coordinators and other professionals covering topics such as: coming out, internalized homophobia, LGBTQ+ and intersecting identities, mental health issues, substance abuse, bisexuality, transgender issues ,etc. As a mentor you will positively impact a LGBTQ+ student’s life. With your support and care, a mentee may learn to develop a positive and authentic LGBTQ+ identity.

Mentors are expected to exhibit maturity, responsibility, awareness of boundaries, strong empathic interpersonal skills, and be comfortable with their own LGBTQ+ identities as well as be comfortable with mentoring individuals who identify as LGBTQ+.  Mentors are also required to attend monthly check-in meetings with the program coordinator at least once per quarter.
