Volunteering to mentor demonstrates an exceptional commitment, but don’t feel bad if you are not initially matched with a mentee. The mentoring program has approximately three times as many mentors as mentees. It’s not personal, not all mentors are matched. Unmatched mentors remain in the mentor pool for future mentoring opportunities.
