Your Volunteer Journey
Step 3: Get matched and begin conversations
Once approved, we will match you with a learner based on factors previously mentioned. This allows you to begin regular online sessions with your mentee through Google Meet using resources provided by MentorHub.
Step 2: Application review and Interview
After reviewing your application, our team will contact you for a short informal conversation to learn more about your interests, availability and experience. This ensures you can be matched with a suitable learner with similar interests.
