Become a Mentor for FWA Next Gen Educational Programs

September 14, 2023

The FWA is on the lookout for incredible mentors to support our FWA Scholars and mentees. By becoming a mentor, you can make a lasting impact on their lives, helping them navigate challenges, develop skills, and achieve their goals. It's a rewarding experience that allows you to share your wisdom, build meaningful connections, and contribute to someone's personal and professional growth. Join us as a mentor and be a guiding light for the next generation of leaders!


FWA mentors help economically, culturally, and ethnically diverse high school and undergraduate college students define their dreams—and discover the ways and means to achieve them. Mentoring a student can be the most powerful influence on their professional future.


FWA mentees experience new and different educational and career opportunities. They’re provided advice and support in academic and professional areas and are encouraged to increase their cultural awareness.


Mentoring Opportunities available:

  • FWA High School Mentoring Program
  • Undergraduate College Mentoring Program
  • FWA Baruch College Mentoring Program
  • Seton Hall University Mentoring Program



Being a part of the Fwa mentorship program comes with some awesome perks!

  • Personal growth: Mentoring allows you to enhance your leadership and communication skills, as well as gain a fresh perspective on various topics.
  • Networking opportunities: Connect with other mentors, professionals, and organizations in your field, expanding your professional network.
  • Fulfillment: Witnessing your mentee's growth and success is incredibly rewarding, knowing that you played a part in their journey.
  • Learning experience: Mentoring is a two-way street! You'll learn from your mentee's unique experiences and gain valuable insights.
  • Impact: By sharing your knowledge and experiences, you can make a lasting impact on a student's life, helping them achieve their academic and career goals.
