Mentors typically critique stories and offer professional development advice. Mentor/mentee pairs can choose to meet virtually or in person.

Please read the application carefully and answer the questions with as much detail as possible. This helps us to create suitable matches. 

After your application has been received, please expect to receive a confirmation email. Once our program coordinators have found a pair, you will be approached with their background and interests. Should you approve of the pairing, the match will be sent to the mentee for their approval. Please note that this process can take some time, as our team is committed to facilitating matches that suit all parties.

Any questions about the process can be directed to mentors@sej.org. Our coordinators will gladly assist you.
