BECOME A MENTOR

Your Experience Can Change a Life

You don’t need to have all the answers to make a difference.
You simply need the willingness to show up, listen, and share what you’ve learned.



As a mentor with The Lantern Network, you help guide motivated young people as they navigate education, career decisions, and personal growth.


Why Become a Mentor?

Mentoring is more than giving advice — it’s about opening doors.

As a mentor, you have the opportunity to:

  • Share your professional journey and lessons learned
  • Support a student navigating critical life and career decisions
  • Contribute to building a stronger, more equitable future
  • Leave a lasting impact beyond your own success

Many mentors find the experience just as transformative as the impact they make.
