RCE Mentorship Program

APPLY TO BE A MENTOR
APPLY TO BE A MENTEE
rcega2022-alt-rgb

The RCE Mentorship Program in Atlanta pairs college students interested in SDG-related careers with professionals in the field. Over the course of the academic year, mentees and mentors build their relationship through strategic goal setting and monthly check-ins. We welcome students from all Greater Atlanta universities and colleges to apply to become mentees. Additionally, we welcome all Greater Atlanta sustainability leaders to apply to become mentors.

The RCE mentorship program localizes the UN SDGs quality education, gender equality, decent work, and reduced inequalities by sharing professional development opportunities (sustainability conferences, seminars, workshops, internships, jobs) and by recruiting mentees from all backgrounds with strong efforts being made to have at least 50% women and 50% students of color participating in the mentorship program.

Embracing great mentorship isn't just about fostering communities; it's about cultivating powerhouse workforces poised to revolutionize industries. By doing so, we're not just shaping our youth for brighter futures, but we are shaping the future of innovation and progress in Greater Atlanta.

Mentee Testimonials

"I have had an extremely positive experience meeting with my mentee. I am so grateful to have been
matched with someone who is open and direct about what she would like to learn from our partnership.
And I've gotten a lot out of our relationship, too! Thank you for all of the work that went into setting this program up for the RCE."

"I like the flexibility of the program, no complaints.
My mentor and I make what we want of it
(e.g. looking into masters of sustainability programs, discussing articles/podcasts on sustainability topics, etc.)"
