Mentorship Program

For New Members

Joining this program is a great way for both new and experienced members of the world of college counseling to connect and support each other. To find out where you would best fit in this program, please see below:

Mentee: You are new to this profession and are looking for someone to guide and support you through your first year.

Mentor: You remember what it was like your first year (scheduling high school visits, attending college fairs each night for the entire month of October, reviewing your first set of applications) and are interested in guiding someone else through the whirlwind experience of their first admission cycle. We request that you have at least 2 recruitment cycles under your belt.

For Middle Managers

Do you have aspirations of becoming an Associate Director, dream of becoming a Dean? If so, the Middle Management Mentorship Program is a perfect fit for you.
