Mentoring Program
St. George’s Society of New York’s (SGSNY) Mentoring Program was established to provide guidance and support for student success, with an emphasis on career development, preparation for graduate school, leadership, goal setting, and character/life building skills.
Mentoring is about helping another person learn through a one-to-one relationship. It’s a common practice for transferring knowledge, promoting best practices at work, and helping guide the leaders of tomorrow. Mentorships are typically offered through the academic year until graduation date (August-May).
Mentoring is available for all current and alumni SGSNY’s Scholarship Program. Professionals from all backgrounds are welcome to apply to volunteer as a mentor.
