As a Mentor or Mentee (or both), you can fill out and manage a unique Mentoring profile that will be used, in conjunction with your main profile, to match you with potential Mentors or Mentees.
Mentor profile overview
If you're enrolled as a Mentor, filling out your Mentor profile is a crucial step to ensuring you're matched with suitable Mentees. You can access your Mentor profile from your main profile by navigating to My Profile > My Mentor Profile, as shown below.
From your Mentor profile, you can (refer to the figure below):
- Update your main profile bio to reflect your mentoring expertise and background. Provide as much information as you can to give potential Mentees sufficient insight into whether you're the right match for them. (Keep in mind this bio is shared between your main profile and Mentor profile.)
- See your previous and current mentoring relationships. For each relationship, you can use the buttons on the right to (1) mark an active relationship as complete, (2) abandon an active relationship, (3) and hide an active or previous relationship on your profile, if you don't want a specific relationship known publicly or simply want to remove it.
- View your current Mentor status details, like whether you're active, your current and maximum number of Mentees, and your availability start/end date. In this area, you can also click Search Mentee to jump to the Find a Mentee Directory Search page and Edit Mentor Status to update your Mentor status details.
- Manage your mentoring demographics–these are the demographics you chose when you enrolled, but you can update them at any time, if needed. You'll be able to choose from a defined list of categories and options that were established for your organization by Higher Logic. Be sure to take the time to fill these out as completely and accurately as possible, as the selections you make are the criteria used to match you with Mentees.
