Mentorship Application
The D.I.H Mentorship is for and young lady who currently resides in Mecklenburg, Iredell, Alamance, Guilford, or Forsyth county, age 16-18, and is interested in being an entrepreneur or working in the corporate sector. This program is completely free to any participant.
Each girl (mentee) will have an initial meeting with a D.I.H rep or their mentor to make sure everyone is on the same page. During this meeting you will discuss your dreams goals and aspirations as well as what you are looking to gain from the experience. At the end of the initial meeting you will be sent home with the following:
- Career Test
- 2 Books: Don’t Waste Your College Tuition by Jerome and Leah Harper and Shark Tales by Barbara Corcoran
The mentor will work with their mentee to help them find the best track for their perspective career goals. The mentee is required to meet with the mentor at least once a month at communicate effectively throughout the whole process. If at any time the mentee wishes to discontinue the program, they may choose to do so. We just ask that you notify your mentor.
Each mentee who is looking to pursue a secondary education beyond high school will also be given a connection to Don’t Waste Your College Tuition. They will receive a six-week strategy session where they will help locate scholarships, prepare essays, and help with college interview prep. This six-week session is normally $250 but will be offered to all D.I.H. mentors for FREE.
Each mentee must fill out an application to have on file. We also ask for transcripts to see what track the mentee is currently on. This is not a requirement at this time but is very helpful to the program. Grades and any other information on the transcript WILL NOT be given or communicated to anyone other than the mentee’s mentor and the mentorship program director. Transcripts will only be used to help the mentee make class and career choices. D.I.H is a no judgement zone.
Completed applications should be submitted by email to support@dihorg.com.
