This fall we are shortening the session commitment for mentors to 6 during the 13-weeks of Navigating the StreetWise Bridge program. If you're in New York, those six mentoring sessions will be in-person. If you're in the D.C. Metro area, those will be virtual mentoring sessions. You will still contribute your time, passion, and expertise to your mentees. The schedule change offers you more freedom to meet with your mentee independently and create a two-way partnership, without compromising your level of engagement. You will gain: ✅ Satisfaction from watching your mentee launch their career ✅ Advanced leadership and management skills ✅ A diverse and strong professional network Fall program begins the week of September 16th, so jump on board and apply to become a mentor today!
