There is a $250 participation fee for mentees, due when matched with a mentor. This fee covers our program book, The Leadership Challenge, a 360 degree assessment, and other program materials used during the workshops.
At this time we are able to match approximately 10-15 mentees (depending on how many mentors we have each year) . We regret that we cannot match every applicant, but we do our best to make the best mentor/mentee matches possible.
