Sign up as a Mentor

Becoming a Mentor

Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor! As a mentor you can assist one mentee or, if you prefer, several mentees. Mentees may require guidance regarding advocating for accommodations, finding summer employment or internships, learning about different areas of the law, getting involved with our state bar, studying for the bar exam, and making contacts in the legal profession.

Our mentees are from both large and small schools across the state or recent law school graduates. They are interested in finding employment with the government, small and large law firms, businesses, non profit organizations, or other law-related entities. Many of our mentees are interested in very specific areas of the law, while others are unsure and require information and advice.

If you are an attorney we can use you! We always have more mentees that mentors, so sign up and share your experiences with one or more of our mentees. As a mentor you do not need to have a disability to participate; all we ask is that you be willing to share your time and experiences with a student who does have a disability.

If you agree to mentor a student there is no obligation except that we ask you to be available to the student. You are free to end the relationship and exit the Program at any time. We only disseminate the contact information that you, through our form, have given us permission to share.

If you have any questions, please contact Shannon Geihsler at sbg [at] sbgaal.com or at 806-763-3999.
