Selection Process
Application
Everyone must apply to participate. We are accepting applications until all eligible mentee and mentor spaces are filled.
Interview
Every applicant (mentee and mentor) is interviewed to gain an understanding of challenges, strengths, and needs. Interviews will be 30 minutes on Zoom and are imperative to the matching process.
Matching
After the interviews are completed there is a matching process to create the partnerships. The matches are formed from the current challenges/needs of the mentees and the strengths/history of the mentors.
Applications for 56Strong are currently closed. Please fill out the form for future communications for future cohorts.
