How It Works (For Mentors)
Our mentors aren’t just students—they’re trusted guides, selected for their experience, empathy, and professionalism. Here’s how we bring the best to our students:
1. Apply to become a mentor.
Interested mentors fill out a detailed application form, where they share their academic background, leadership roles, campus involvement, and why they want to guide future applicants. We look for individuals with strong communication skills and a genuine passion for mentorship.
2. Screening & Interview
Our team carefully reviews every application. Selected candidates are invited to a short interview with one of the co-founders, where we assess their ability to connect with students, communicate clearly, and represent the values of MyCollegeDecision.
3. Onboarding & Training
Accepted mentors receive the MyCollegeDecision Mentor Handbook and attend a required onboarding session. Here, they learn how to set goals with students, communicate professionally, and support each client in a way that’s structured, ethical, and personalized.
4. Get Matched & Start Mentoring
Mentors are thoughtfully paired with students based on shared interests, goals, and mentorship style. Each match is approved by both sides. From there, mentors work 1:1 with their students, following a flexible but goal-oriented plan designed to build clarity, confidence, and college readiness.
