A current profile will allow your mentor to select any new opportunities to advance/reach your goals. Be sure to complete the About section; it displays in both your member and mentoring profiles. Since your privacy is a priority for SGSF, many of your profile fields are visible only to you by default. Be sure to change them to the correct visibility settings for SGSF Mentor to view.
Goal setting is critical to a successful mentoring relationship. The more specific the Mentoring Objective/Goals are, the better your odds are of finding the best possible mentoring match and reaching them within the specified time. Consider the following:
Mentees
• New professional areas you are looking to explore or new skills you hope to develop
• Certification courses or trainings you’d like to explore
• School or Athletic challenges you are currently experiencing
• Your hopes/expectations for the mentoring relationship and what you think makes a mentoring relationship successful
• What you hope your mentor will gain from this experience
• Your expectations of a mentor
• Any other factors/preferences your mentor should take into consideration
• If you participate in any extra curricular activities – sports or school clubs
Mentors
• Skills/strengths you possess that will help in mentoring someone in STEM
classes, or areas of interest
• Professional challenges you have faced in your career
• Your hopes/expectations for the mentoring relationship and what you think
makes a mentoring relationship successful
• What you hope your mentee will gain from this experience
• What qualities you think are essential in a good mentee
• What qualities you think are essential in a good mentor
• Any other factors/preferences your mentee should take into consideration
How to successfully build good study habits. How to successfully build healthy friendships. How to earn a college degree debt free. How to successfully obtain and maintain a project-based internship in high school and in the first two years of undergraduate studies. How to position yourself for a promotion. How to approach a performance review, how to transition into a new role, how to manage a specific workplace relationship, how to negotiate a salary with benefits that include stock options, PTO as well as a professional development budget, etc., are examples of goals. Expecting your mentor to find a job or internship for you is NOT an acceptable goal.
No. However, if you choose a mento that is not local, within your region, do note that in person opportunities will be limited and prohibit your ability to effectively
bond. NOTE: This only applies to Middle and High school SUPERGirls.
Collegiates and Graduate Students, you are most welcome to have a mentor that is not in your local area as your reach and ability to connect will expand your
opportunities for national and global education and workforce development.
You determine this outcome. If your member profile is completed within 73 hours of receipt, your matching could take a minimum of one week. Remember, the goal of SHSG is that all SUPERGirls and Collegiates are matched with mentors and will meet, Friday, Sept 22 for our Induction Ceremony.
You will receive an email sharing the update and contact information to connect.
Congratulations, you’re now in a mentoring relationship! You will be provided with
guidelines upon acceptance. Essentially, you will schedule a kickoff call with your
mentor along with your parent(s) and begin your mentoring journey.
You will meet based on the preferred method(s) indicated in your mentoring
profiles and as mutually agreed upon during your kickoff call
There is a minimum of a 30-minute monthly call, meeting which can be hybrid. You will also have at least 3 in person sessions/events that each mentor and mentee are expected to attend.
Yes, but there should be a good reason to do so. We encourage you to review their profile and mentoring objective to determine whether the relationship would
be mutually beneficial. If your potential mentor misinterpreted information in your profile, you may find her or him to be an inappropriate match. If you feel there is a major personality conflict, please share in writing. There may be ways to overcome those barriers with a simple phone call or touchpoint meeting with an SGSF team member.
If your mentor objective is complete and your search has been broad but you are
still unable to find a match, please contact the SGSF’s Community Builder &
Engagement Specialist, Bri at . While we will put
forth our best effort, it is our hope that all SUPERGirls are matched before our
Induction Ceremony.
All High School SUPERGirls who meet at least 85% of participation from Sept to
April are eligible to apply and be prepared to be matched with a project-based
internship, suitable to your skills, interest and drive

Yes. All the information is helpful and will aid you in the process. Once
your application is completed, your matching will take place, yet your
membership perks will apply to your level and shared with calendar
opportunities and professional development experiences. A Collegiate is
also a girl, who from birth, is now seeking support, resources, internships, and a
