Our Program
MENTEE offers an online, non-hierarchical global mentorship community where our mentees, people who are 18 and older and disadvantaged by our global systems, are trained and choose their "circles of mentorship" to support their goals. Global mentors, speaking a collective 33 languages, volunteer their time to teach, give free consulting, share professional skills and knowledge, offer guidance for mentees from around the world who come to us through our NGO partnerships. A Peer-to-Peer Hub allows mentees to learn and build together. Monthly mind and body healing sessions and development events are part of our core work. University certificates and internships allow our mentees to soar! We build important relationships with organizations, institutions, and the corporate world to assure our mentees have what they need to achieve their goals. And our program is for life!
MENTEE Partners
We work with businesses, institutions, and other nonprofits globally and build collaborative projects. MENTEE offers opportunities to fuel volunteerism and improve employee satisfaction and personal growth while giving our mentees access to top global specialists and internships. We can also help you help you achieve your SDGs in any part of the world. Fellow NGOs are part of the fabric of our work and we partner freely to support those you are serving.

University Certificates
We partner with universities, like Fordham University and our "Peer to Peer Learning Through Sustainable Development Goals Project", to give our mentees certificates and other higher education and continuing learning opportunities.

We offer monthly Mind & Body Healing Sessions for our MENTEE Community of mentees, global mentors, NGOs, and other collaborating organizations.

Become a Global Mentor
Our global mentors are specialists from around the world who offer free consulting, professional skills and knowledge sharing, guidance, and support. Mentees are trained and empowered to reach out to you on our platform. As a mentor, you are trauma trained, given tools to help you share your knowledge, and learn MENTEE's approach to mentoring as a non-hierarchical community. You hold one-on-one sessions or join us with other mentors for large group mentoring for NGO communities with more challenges. Global mentors are virtual
and help mentees synchronously or asynchronously, depending on their needs.
The frequency of the time you give and when you give it is all up to you.
Your own personal and professional growth is deeply connected to this work - you will
learn and grow and find profound reward in the relationships you build.

What's with your logo?
It's awesome, isn't it?
Our logo icon is a West African adinkra and translated means, "He who does not know can know from learning." It's a symbol that represents life-long education and a continued quest for knowledge. Our vision, structure, and actions are all deeply rooted in the value of learning and the sharing of knowledge with all.
