Mentor a Student
Make a difference in your industry
Connecting with experienced mentors is one of the most meaningful parts of the program for our engineering students. The time commitment for mentorship is 1 hour a week throughout the 12-week program. Students passionately absorb and apply everything they can learn from software engineers, CTOs, engineering managers, data scientists, and machine learning specialists.
Mentorship requires volunteers to:
- Dedicate one hour a week to your Mentee (this can be an in-person meeting, video chat, email exchanges, or code review — connect with her on how and when you may be most helpful to her goals)
- We understand gaps in your career but would appreciate all our Mentors to be fully employed while mentoring at Hackbright
- Respond to emails within 24 hours (even if it’s to say you’re busy until X date)
- Support your mentee in her project as she prepares for Demo Night
- Be supportive and committed to the success of your Mentee!
We appreciate your support of our initiative to #changetheratio.
