iSGM manages a yearly mentorship initiative to create a network of support for our members. The scope of our program generates opportunities for iSchool IBPOC/racialized students by pairing and supporting a professional-student mentorship opportunity.
The 2024 Mentorship Program will begin in May and span the Summer terms 1 and 2.

- Full or partial funding for mentor-mentee attendance of LAIS conferences or workshops.*
- …and more! If you have a request, we will try our best to accommodate.
