Become a Mentor

Thank you for your interest in serving as a mentor! To enroll:

1. Complete the fields below and press "Save."
   The more information you provide, the easier it will be for mentees to find their best mentor match. (All fields marked with an asterisk are required for enrollment.)
2. Ensure you've enrolled successfully.
   After you've saved your changes, you will see a notice informing you whether or not you've enrolled successfully. If your enrollment is unsuccessful, check that you've completed the required fields and press save again.

After you've enrolled successfully:

1. Update your EDUCAUSE Connect Profile.
   Having a complete and accurate profile is crucial for a successful match, as it allows potential mentees to learn more about you when determining a mentoring fit. Make sure your contact information is up-to-date and add a profile picture.
2. Update your privacy settings to display your mentoring availability and details about you.
   (Tip: Don't skip this step to ensure you make great connections.)
   
   
   1. Go to your Connect Privacy Settings
   2. Make sure “I would like to be included in the member directory and community rosters” is set to “Yes”
   3. Scroll down and confirm that “Mentor Status” and “Mentee Status” are set to “Members Only”
   4. Alter the privacy settings from "Only Me" to "Members Only" (or higher) for any additional fields that you would like to be visible on your mentoring profile (e.g., your picture, email, and organization information). These permissions also apply to your Connect Profile.
   5. Press "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page to save your edits
3. Search for a mentee(s) and make a connection.
   Visit the Find a Mentee page to search for a match. The less preferences you select, the more mentee candidates will appear.
