LGBTQ+ QUEST Mentorship Program

Are you looking for ways to get connected with current students and help them grow professionally? Join Kent State University's LGBTQ+ QUEST Mentorship program! QUEST Mentorship provides a one-to-one mentor/mentee relationship for students that focuses on career guidance and general support. Each QUEST cohort kicks off in the fall semester with a Saturday training in September, and the cohort will continue connecting during monthly meet-ups, where we'll build community, develop professionally and have fun!

As a mentor, you'll also connect with your mentee once per month to provide them knowledge and guidance to help the student navigate college and being LGBTQ+ in the professional world. You can connect in person, by text or video chat, or in any way you feel would be helpful and appropriate.

Mentors must be:

• Part of or an ally to the LGBTQ+ community
• A college graduate (any level/degree)
• Gainfully employed in any career field
• Willing to commit to monthly contact with their mentee
• Able to provide support to your mentee for at least one year
• Willing to share vocational and professional information from your own experiences to help the student's career exploration and social growth
• Able to complete a training provided by QUEST program staff prior to starting your mentorship
