The need for mentorship in various fields cannot be overstated. Whether you're a student trying to navigate your career path, a young professional looking to advance your skills, or an entrepreneur seeking guidance on your business, having a mentor can make all the difference. However, finding the right mentor can be a daunting task, with limited options, inadequate information, and often unclear expectations. Students at UC Davis especially lack guidance due to the lack of compatible mentors.
That's where Mentor Match comes in. Our app is designed to make the process of finding a mentor and connecting with them seamless and effective.

Mentor Match is a two-way street, and we believe that both mentors and mentees should have the power to choose who they work with. Our app allows for mutual communication, so mentors and mentees can discuss expectations and ensure that their mentorship relationship is a good fit for both parties.
