Your Mentoring Relationships (as a Mentor)

How to view and manage your mentor-mentee matches

The Matches page shows all your current and past mentoring pairings. Understanding your mentee's background, goals, and where they are in their journey is what lets you give advice that's specific and actionable rather than generic.

Viewing Your Matches

Each match card shows:

  • Participants: Both names and the mentorship format (e.g. 1:1 mentorship)
  • Match status: Active, Pending, or Inactive
  • Match score: The AI-calculated compatibility percentage
  • Accepted date: When the match was confirmed

Accepting a New Match

When you're paired with a mentee, the match starts as Pending. Open it and choose Accept to begin the relationship, or Decline if you can't take it on right now. Accepting moves the match to Active, and you can start scheduling meetings and messaging. Respond promptly. Your mentee is waiting to get started.

Tip

Review your mentee's goals before each meeting. It helps you prepare targeted guidance and shows that you're invested in their growth. Mentees consistently say the thing that matters most is feeling like their mentor actually knows their situation.

If Something Isn't Working

If a match doesn't feel right, talk to your program admin. They can pause or reassign matches. It's better to address mismatches early than let them fade.
