Being a Mentor

Mentorship is a pivotal part of the Springboard experience. You will have a huge impact the success of your students during the course and possibly throughout the rest of their careers. All of our students join our programs because they're excited to learn from industry professionals like you! To help you understand your role as a mentor, here are a few guidelines.

Expectations

Mentors are required to participate in regular video calls with their students. Beyond this, we have the following expectations:

  • Mentors will review mentee project submissions (including the final capstone project) per any provided rubrics and be responsible for approving workshop completion of each mentee.
  • Mentors will maintain confidentiality of information provided to them by mentees and by Springboard.
  • Mentors will honor the availability set on their profile to avoid mentee rematches.
  • Mentors will inform their mentees and/or Springboard Team if they are unable to attend a call

Springboard Mentor Honor Code

The Honor Code is an undertaking of the mentors, individually and collectively:

  1. That they will be supportive and encouraging to their mentees.
  2. That they will honor their word for any commitments made.
  3. That they will be respectful to students, other mentors and Springboard staff.

Violations of the Honor Code

Examples of conduct that will be regarded as being in violation of the Honor Code include:

  • Failing to give useful feedback on mentee projects
  • Promising to send information after a call but never doing so
  • Missing calls without prior communication with your mentee and/or Springboard team
  • Rude or offensive comments in our online communities or to members of our community

Violations of the honor code may result in probation or dismissal of mentors.
