Hart House Mentorship Program – apply to be matched with an alumni mentor

Are you a current graduate student at U of T? Are you interested in getting matched with an alumni mentor this fall? If so, we are accepting student mentee applications August 1-28 to participate in the 2024-25 Hart House Mentorship Program.

This mentorship program will provide the opportunity for students to connect one-on-one with accomplished and engaged alumni and friends from the Hart House community.

The Hart House Mentorship Program matches mentors and mentees not only on the basis of their professional pursuits and ambitions, but also on their personal priorities, interests and passions. In most cases, mentees will be matched with mentors who have similar interests or common backgrounds, but are in completely different career fields.

Time Commitment: We suggest a minimum of three meetings with your mentor during the school year (phone or online meetings are fine). In addition, there will also be an in-person Opening Reception on October 9 from 6:30-8:30 p.m., and other optional events like Micro-Mentorship Dinners on November 13, 2024 and February 12, 2025, where participants will have an opportunity to meet young alumni and the other participants in the program.

Eligibility: If you are a current graduate student at U of T, then you are eligible to apply.

Please apply August 1-28 through our online form. If you have any questions, you can contact Bonnie Merchan-Douglas at b.douglas@utoronto.ca.

*Please note that due to the limited size of this program (40 one-on-one matches), not every student that applies will get matched with a one-on-one mentor this year. However, any unmatched students are still considered to be part of the mentorship program and they will have an opportunity to come out to the Opening Reception and two Micro-Mentorship Dinners, November 13, 2024 and February 12, 2025 to meet with young alumni and unmatched mentors where they may find a suitable match to create a mentorship relationship for the remainder of the school year.
