Mentor Mingle

Mentor Mingle is where connection begins.

Held during student orientation, Mentor Mingle offers a unique opportunity for mentors to step into the Path to College community before they are officially matched with a mentee. It is a chance to see the program in action, experience the energy of our students, and witness the relationships that make this work so meaningful.

During Mentor Mingle, mentors observe how students engage with one another and with staff, gaining a deeper understanding of the environment their mentee will be part of. Mentors are also able to speak directly with students, building genuine connections and engaging with them on a more personal level. These conversations offer a glimpse into each student’s personality, aspirations, and perspective, helping mentors feel more connected to the mission and the young people they will soon support.

Just as importantly, mentors have the opportunity to connect with one another. Whether you are new to the program or returning for another year, this is a space to ask questions, share experiences, and build relationships with a community of individuals who are equally committed to making an impact.

Mentor Mingle is designed to help you feel informed, inspired, and ready for what comes next. By the time Mentor Match Day arrives, you will not only feel prepared, but genuinely excited to begin your journey alongside your mentee.
