How It Works

Each mentoring session comes with a guide and corresponding student materials that are all available in our Mentor Resources Portal.

Weekly emails from GMI keep students engaged and on track. Tools like email templates help mentors to communicate with their students after each session, saving valuable time.

The program consists of 12 one-hour virtual sessions via a videoconferencing platform. Students and mentors set their own schedule together. There is no obligation to maintain contact beyond the 12 sessions.
