Form Field Information - Operational Area

Form Field Information - Status

MentorMatch Status is used to determine how you wish to participate in the matching process. You may chose multiple options. Select;

Open to accepting a traditional mentee if you are interested in a one-on-one relationship where you are superior in experience, knowledge and perhaps rank to your potential mentee.
Actively seeking a traditional mentor if you are seeking a one-on-one relationship where you have less experience, knowledge, and perhaps a lower rank than your potential mentor.
Open to a peer one-on-one mentoring relationship if you are seeking a one-on-one relationship in which both participants bring strengths to the table that you can share.
Open to membership in a co-mentoring circle if you are seeking a many-to-many relationship that is defined by the circle owner. It may be peer based or have a mixture of aspirational and experienced members.
Accepting new members in my co-mentoring circle if your are a circle owner / manager and the circle is willing to expand its membership.
Not currently accepting new relationships (please uncheck all other options) if you are either not currently interested in a mentoring relationship or your have active relationships that meet your needs. This keeps your profile active but signals to other participants not to send you requests.
