Mentoring Program

SSP Connect

What is SSP Connect?

This year marks the launch of the new SSP young alumni mentorship program, SSP Connect, a one-on-one mentorship initiative pairing young alumni with our most recent SSP participants.

 

What do mentors do?

  • Complete the sign-up form and be matched with a SSP ‘20 mentee who has just finished their SSP summer.   
  • Receive guidance and training on how to be a mentor from fellow young alumni and SSP representatives. 
  • Meet and get to know your mentee online via video chat, provide support, answer their questions and help them navigate through the many upcoming challenges, opportunities, and transitions after SSP!
  • Have conversations on topics like:
    • What is the college application process like?
    • How do I pick a major?
    • What are different career paths?
  • Up to 1 hour/week typical meeting with your mentee
