Become a Mentor

Join our team of trained mentors making a real difference.

⚠

You must be at least 21 years of age to apply as a mentor.

No Direct Advice — on either side

Mentors do not give advice, and members may not ask for direct advice. You share your own lived experience only — how you got through it, what you tried, and which resources helped you — and never make decisions for a member or tell them what to do. Required trainings on this are provided.

Read the full No Direct Advice Policy.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release, waive, and hold harmless Tatzliach Initiative and its directors, coordinators, staff, mentors, volunteers, members, and agents from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or causes of action arising out of or relating to your participation, communications, or any information shared.
