FAQs

How do I get a mentor?

Start by applying using the Get a Mentor button, this will kick start the matching process to find you the perfect mentor.

What devices can I use with my mentor?

Most of our members use their phone to connect via text messaging and phone calls with their mentor.

Is my personal information secure during a mentorship?

Yes, trust is critical to a mentorship relationship. Of course, if there is anything concerning or dangerous going on then a parent will be looped into the conversation. All conversations are recorded and monitored by a member of our staff to ensure appropriate boundaries on all conversations.

How are parents involved in the mentorship process?

Every month, the mentor will send a progress update to the parents with an overview of their activity for the month. We encourage parents to take a proactive approach to communicating and engaging with their teen.

How do you select and train your college mentors?

We are highly selective in our process of finding the absolute best mentors for TrailGuides. They go through a rigorous application and interview process, in addition to on-going training, discipleship, and background checks regularly conducted.
