Calling all mentors

This fall at CANVAS in Salt Lake City, we're launching a special mentorship program to connect members across career stages. Mentors play a vital role in welcoming newer professionals, sharing experience, and strengthening our community. It's easy to become a mentor. Just follow these three easy steps:

1. Complete your Member Hub profile

If you haven’t already, make sure your Member Hub profile is complete.

Update your contact information, add a recent professional profile picture, expand your bio, and import your education and job history information from LinkedIn. You can also double-check that your privacy settings are set the way you would like them.

Your profile is how other users will decide whether or not to connect to you—spending a little time on this step will be a huge help during the matching process.

2. Enroll as a mentor

Use this form to enroll as a mentor.

The form will request information about you that will help a mentee decide whether or not to request you as a mentor.

Demographics include: topics, specialties, career stage, and start/end date. Please note that some fields are required for enrollment. The more information you provide, the easier it will be for mentees to find you and request a match.

Please set the number of mentees you are willing to accept at the bottom of this form. We recommend accepting no more than three mentees—the default limit is set at two.

3. Accept mentee requests

Once your Member Hub and mentor profiles are complete, you’ll wait to get mentorship requests from mentees.

Please note that mentees will be invited to join the program in October, so keep an eye on your inbox for a few weeks before CANVAS.

Requests will appear in both your email and your Member Hub inbox.

When you receive a request, you’ll be able to review the mentee and accept (or reject) the match.

After you get a match, reach out to your mentee to set a time and place to meet at CANVAS in Salt Lake City!
