COLLEGE MENTORSHIP
MakeNew offers a free mentorship program open to all college students. Choose from one of our tracks to be paired with an industry professional and/or upperclassman who can provide resources and coaching. We are mentors who believe that college can be a transformative time and want to help along the way.
HOW IT WORKS
It’s easy! Just pick a track & we’ll pair you with a personal mentor. Over the course of 4-6 in-person sessions, you and your mentor will go through focused modularized content. However, the mentorship will be largely driven by your questions and interests, so you are encouraged to bring topics you’re interested in to each session.
