Mentors should have at least three years of experience in their current roles and settings. Students and those in their first or second year of practice (Student or Early Career NASP members) cannot serve as mentors.
Upon registering as a mentor, you will be added to the list. You will be notified if a mentee requests you as a mentor, at which point you will need to accept the mentorship. You can visit your Mentor Profile to change your availability at any time and have the option to provide professional support to more than one mentee at a time. As stated above, group mentorship is also acceptable if all parties prefer this method. You have the option to turn down a particular request due to inadequate fit or you are no longer available.
