Request a Mentor

A Mentor is someone who meets with you to discuss your goals and ambitions. They help you identify solutions, behaviors, and resources to overcome any obstacles or challenges you face during your education and career journey. They also will help identify opportunities and navigate through some critical decisions. While Mentors don’t make decisions FOR YOU, they will assist you in understanding what decisions might be right for you. Think of a Mentor as your co-pilot, that trusted individual who is present to HELP you!

Other Future Link students have described their mentorships as “amazing”, “life-changing”, “the best thing that happened to me”.

By requesting a Mentor, you are committing to meeting weekly with your Mentor and responding to all communications from your Mentor. Your meetings are at a convenient time and location for both of you.

We are so glad you are taking advantage of this opportunity. If you have any questions about mentoring, email Allison at areznick@futurelinkmd.org or call 202.302.2234.
