Are you looking for an opportunity to improve your MBA/Grad school profile while also giving back to the community?
Grad Mentors is a full 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides free graduate exam mentorship to those who are unable to access traditional exam prep due to financial or socio-economic limitations. Grad Mentors currently has a GMAT and GRE mentorship program.

Our mentorship program is the core of what we do. Volunteer mentors who join will work with our management team to support applicants accepted to our program on a one-to-one basis. Mentors are matched with one or multiple mentees at a time depending on their availability, and work with their mentees from the start of their study journey to the conclusion to help them succeed on their exam. Many of our mentors have enjoyed the process of working with our mentees, who come from a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds.

How can I apply?
You can apply by going to our website and clicking “Join Our Team” at the top!
Why you should join:
There are a number of reasons, but here are a few:
You get to directly help in-need students from around the globe achieve their dreams of higher education
We are an entirely virtual organization that is also flexible around your availability; we understand that sometimes life gets busy, in which case our team will work with you to manage your workload
For any mentors interested in going above and beyond, there are other ways you can get involved with our organization (creating resources, being on our podcasts, etc.)

FAQ:
Here are a couple of common questions we get from prospective mentors:
What are the requirements to become a mentor?
Our requirements are not set in stone, and we encourage anyone who is interested to apply!
How would I work with my mentees? What does a typical relationship look like?
We set our mentors/mentees up for an initial touch-base via email. We then will leave the mentor/mentee match to work together to determine how frequently they would like to meet, and what sort of support they are looking for. Typically, this takes form in a Skype or phone call once every week or two weeks between the mentor and mentee, going over test-taking advice, specific questions, or anything else. From there, we will check in with our mentor/mentee pair on a biweekly basis to ensure everything is going smoothly, until the mentee no longer needs our support.
One thing to note is that our mentors are NOT expected to be tutors! Grad Mentors sets the expectation that as a mentor, you are not a tutor, but rather a mentor who offers holistic advice on how to succeed on the test. This may involve answering specific GMAT/GRE questions every now and then, but by and large our mentees are more interested in the pathway to how you achieved success on your exam.
What is the weekly commitment in terms of hours?
Volunteering as a mentor could take up to an hour every week for a few weeks per mentee. The number of mentees you work with at one time is at your discretion; we will work with you to understand what is best for your particular situation.
