Mentorship Program

If you are a U of T graduate student, or a mature part-time undergraduate (at least 2 years older than your cohort) and will be enrolled in courses starting in the Fall of 2023, then you are eligible to apply.

There are many benefits to be gained through your participation. They include:

• Expanding your professional and personal networks;
• Discovering new strengths and building on existing ones;
• Increasing your confidence in social and business settings;
• Enhancing your engagement in the broader community; and
• Learning from the experience and acquire the wisdom of a committed supporter.

You don’t need to be a U of T alumnus to apply to become a Hart House mentor. Employed professionals will have the satisfaction of knowing they are helping to provide direction and opportunities to a student that could help change the course of their life for the better. In fact, many mentors report that they benefit at least as much from the process of mentoring as do their mentees.

Serving as a mentor will allow you the opportunity to provide a recent graduate, a graduate student or mature part-time undergraduate student with:

• Access to professional and social networks;
• Focused attention on the discovery of new strengths and the reinforcement of existing ones;
• Increased confidence in social and business settings;
• Introductions to communities of interest outside the classroom and
• Encouragement in the discernment of professional pathways.
