I am a retiree with several decrees including two Masters, one Juris Doctors and one baccalaureate. How do I become a Mentor?
Hi Walter, your comment was flagged as spam so I missed it. Sorry! Without knowing where you are, I’ll recommend a mentoring platform that makes you available to college students: http://www.studentmentor.org. You offer yourself as a mentor and the system matches you up with students seeking to learn from you. Then, you can simply email, do phone calls, whatever works. Another way is to call your local middle school or high school and inquire about upcoming “Career Day” type events. From there, you may students that will want your mentorship for the long or short term. Thanks for asking!
