Find a mentor

A mentor is someone further along who meets with you to help you grow. On Mentoring you can ask a leader or mentor from one of your groups, or a member who offered to mentor, and they decide whether to accept.

Ask someone from your groups

1. Sign in and go to /discipleship/mentoring, or click Mentoring on the Discipleship page.
2. Under Ask someone to mentor you, you'll see the leaders, co-leaders and mentors of the groups you belong to.
3. Click Ask next to someone.
4. Optionally write A note saying what you'd like help with and how often you hope to meet.
5. Click Send request. They're notified and decide.

If no one is listed, you aren't in a group yet. Click Find a group to look at Connect.

Find a mentor beyond your groups

1. On the same page, use Find a mentor who fits. It lists people who offered to mentor, beyond your own groups.
2. Narrow it by language, Your city or area (optional) and When you're free, then click Find mentors.
3. Each person shows what you have in common, such as Matched on your goals or Meets online.
4. Click Ask to mentor me. You'll see Request sent. and their name.

Matches use your goals from the Discipleship page. Add them under What you want to grow in to match on topics too.

Follow your request

Your mentor shows your request and its status: Waiting for a reply, Accepted or Declined. Click Withdraw request to take it back, or End connection to end an accepted one.

Offer to mentor others

If you'd like to mentor, use Offer to mentor on the same page: tick List me as a mentor, choose Topics you can mentor in, Languages you speak and When you're free, and add your City or area (city only, not your address). Requests sent to you appear under Requests for you, where you click Accept or Decline.

Good to know

• Everyone you can ask has a current background clearance. Offering to mentor needs one too.
• You always choose whom to ask, and the mentor always decides whether to accept.
• Mentoring is free with a free account.
• The discipleship companion in the concierge can also suggest mentors, and asks your approval before sending a request.
