Individual Mentorship

Through The Social Work Neighborhood, we will set up mentees with a social work mentor after both parties submit applications. Mentors also complete an interview, and if a few factors align, the mentor and mentee are matched and may begin meeting.

We hold mentors and mentees to meet at least monthly, and we also offer support group spaces for social workers and students. You can check out our events calendar for information on upcoming groups & events.

When a mentor and mentee are matched, they schedule an initial meet & greet consultation to determine if they are a good fit. If so, they can align on goals, frequency of meetings, etc. If not, the program directors will assist the mentee in matching to a mentor of a better fit. The program director does check ins with mentors monthly to ensure mentorship is going well and is consistent. Mentors and mentees are welcome to communicate with the program director as needed for further support, resources, and information.
