The ALL Mentorship Program seeks to create a more tailored mentoring experience than the Northwestern Network Mentorship Program. Whereas the NNMP’s main focus is industry/professional interests, we encourage ALL Mentorship Program participants to explore broader topics related to life experiences, in addition to career-related subjects.

Degree-seeking Northwestern students and Northwestern graduates of any degree-granting program are eligible to participate. The ALL Mentorship Program is open to anyone seeking a mentorship opportunity rooted in shared affinity, interest, and experience. Individuals with diverse backgrounds—including, those identifying as Black, Latinx, Asian and/or indigenous, and those who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community—are encouraged to register. Faculty, staff, parents, certificate students, and friends of the University are not currently eligible to participate.

After registration has closed, we will use a matching algorithm to match participants with one another and staff then review each match to ensure it seems like a good fit. Using the information shared in participants' profiles, matches are based on club affinity, discussion topic interest, career interests, preferred frequency and method of meeting, and education information.

We purposefully have designed this program to be flexible for alumni leaders and student learners. You and your leader/learner have complete control over your mentorship relationship and can decide how often you want to meet at the onset of your mentoring relationship. Once matched, we ask that you discuss how much time you can commit to the relationship. Based on user profiles, we also have tried to match participants with similar meeting frequency preferences.

If you have questions or experience any issues with your mentor leader or mentee learner, please reach out to the ALL Mentorship Program manager at ALLmentorship@northwestern.edu. The program manager can offer solutions to improve the relationship or, if necessary, formally terminate the relationship.
