Mentorship Program
Connections That Move You Forward
At The Jewish Grad Organization (JGO), mentorship is more than a conversation—it's a connection that can shape your future.
Our Mentorship Program
pairs motivated graduate students and young professionals with
experienced leaders across industries. This is your opportunity to build a meaningful
relationship with someone you likely wouldn't otherwise have access to—someone who can
offer real insight, guidance, and perspective as you navigate pivotal moments in your journey.
What to Expect?
Over the course of 3–6 months, you'll meet one-on-one with your mentor for three conversations designed to support your growth.These meetings are a space to ask questions, explore ideas, and gain perspective—whether you're figuring out your next step, thinking about building something of your own, or looking to grow professionally.
Who It's For?
We're looking for thoughtful, curious, and driven individuals who are ready to show up, engage, and take initiative.Mentorship is a two-way relationship—and the more you invest in it, the more meaningful it becomes.

"My mentor's background closely aligned with my own interests and career goals, which allowed for highly directed and meaningful guidance. The experience was highly enriching, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from her."

"The most valuable part of the mentorship program is knowing that there are successful people in the business world that care so much about their Jewish identity and want to be a resource and mentor to grad students."
Natalie Freilich

"It's rare to get honest, judgment-free guidance on things we're actually navigating, and it's been grounding and confidence-building. It's been like that from the start and I feel this is the only mentorship program that has actually stuck for me."
Leyla Messian

"The meetings had a natural progression from getting to know each other, to receiving introductions from my mentor, and ultimately feeling confident that I have a roadmap to take my career for the next couple years and continue connecting over my professional growth."
