Mentors

How will my mentor be assigned?

SFs assign each Participant a mentor. The mentor is generally a subject matter expert in the Participant’s field of study. Contact information for Participants and mentors will be provided to each by the SF or Sponsoring Service. In all cases, the mentor will be someone within the sponsoring organization who will help facilitate internship arrangements and provide one-on-one counseling regarding the internal operations of the agency.
