Cohort Mentor Opportunities
Cohort participants are often supported by volunteer members of ELGL who have years of practical knowledge and expertise in their field. Participants gain valuable one-on-one access to experts in their field who can connect them with the people and resources they need; mentors have an opportunity to give back to others and increase their profile as an expert in their field.
You can let us know you’re interested in being a mentor by filling out this short three-minute form; feel free to email cohorts@elgl.org with any questions about the program!
