Mentoring

About the program - want to be a mentor?

The GenQ Foundation will endeavour to match students with leaders across the professions who are committed to the welfare of the GenQ Foundation and the GLBT community. These matches are intended to cultivate strong professional relationships between Students and Professionals located within the Student’s academic fields of interest. In addition, the GenQ Foundation Mentoring Program provides Students with a strong network of emotional support which we strongly believe will help our students assume the leadership positions they seek. We look for mentors who are able to commit to a lifelong partnership with the Student as well as the GenQ Foundation.

Typically, mentors and students are in contact with one another at least once a week and meet when time permits. Each Mentor-Student pair is expected to establish a yearly set of goals and objectives. The mentor then serves as an advisor, coach and confidante to the student. We believe that mentorship is a cornerstone of academic and professional success especially for students whose family, friends, and teachers are no longer willing to serve as emotional support. From our own experiences, the GenQ Foundation understands that having an interested, caring and empathetic mentor who is highly-successful in their chosen profession is invaluable.
