As a mentor, Mentor Manager enables you to clearly communicate your mentees’ progress, improvements, and support needs to department supervisors and program staff. The platform provides organized, secure access to each mentee’s information and history, allowing you to document milestones, highlight areas for growth, and request assistance where needed. You can quickly log activities and time spent for reporting purposes. Customizable notifications keep stakeholders informed of important updates, while comprehensive progress reports ensure that department and program teams have the insights they need to support your mentees’ success.

To start using Mentor Manager, you need to create an account and log in.

Creating an Account

You can become a mentor in Mentor Manager through a partner mentorship program. Each partner program has its own application process, so you will need to apply through the specific program you are interested in. There are two ways to become a mentor:

  1. Apply through a partner mentorship program: If you are interested in becoming a mentor for a specific partner program, you will need to apply through that program’s application process.

  2. Receive an email invite link: If you have been invited to become a mentor by a partner program, you will receive an email with a link to create your account. The mentor partner program may have pre-approved your application, in which case you will not need to go through the mentor application process.

Applying to be a Mentor

  1. Find your partner organization in the list of partner mentorship programs.

  2. Click on the Mentor Manager Portal link, under your chosen partner program.

  3. You’ll be prompted to create an account using your email and password, or to log in using a social account (Google, etc.).

Mentor application
