ULI New York 2026-2027 Mentor Matching Profile

ULI New York's Mentor Program is a unique opportunity to give back to the New York real estate community by guiding and supporting the development of young professionals in the industry.
The program offers experienced real estate professionals the opportunity to build ties with future leaders of the real estate community by acting as an advisor, supporter, and coach to an assigned Mentee (ULI members under the age of 40 who apply and are accepted to the program).
As a Mentor, you will serve as an important sounding board for a young professional or graduate student as they formulate and pursue their career objectives. We ask that Mentors meet (virtually or in-person) with their assigned Mentee once per month from October 2026 to June 2027.

Requirements:

  • Mentors are required to have at least 10 years of experience in the real estate or land use industry.
  • Mentors are not required to be ULI members.
  • Completed Mentor Matching Profile due by September 4! We are asking all potential Mentors (both new and returning) to fill out the Mentor Matching Profile to aid the Mentor Program Committee in creating mutually beneficial Mentor-Mentee pairs.
ULI New York’s Mentor Program is committed to supporting our ULI New York District Council’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative. As such, we would like to remind you of ULI New York's DEI Statement:

One of ULI New York’s key objectives is to increase diversity in our organization and in the real estate and land use industries. Our leadership is actively working to grow our diversity and inclusion initiative to increase the involvement of historically underrepresented diverse populations. We believe diversifying our membership, raising the profile of our diverse members, and welcoming their different perspectives allows us to better fulfill ULI’s mission of creating and sustaining thriving, resilient, and equitable communities.

To assist the District Council in our efforts to increase diversity and inclusion amongst our members and volunteer leaders, we hope you will consider providing the following demographic information.
