Each mentor is assigned a Mentoring Specialist who will consider geography, interests, life experience, personality, and other factors in order to match you with a compatible mentee. The Mentoring Specialist will then advise you and support you throughout the duration of the relationship.
Once you are matched with a mentee, you will be picking him or her up from home and doing an activity in the community. We have found that this is much easier to do if you have your own vehicle.
