Statera Mentorship | Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I’m a Mentor or a Mentee?

Participants self identify. We believe that everyone has something to offer and everyone has something to learn. The important thing is that you are committed to the mission of creating pathways for women* and non-binary people in the arts.

Is there an Age limit?

Participants must be 18 or older and finished with high school.

Can I be both?

Yes. Many participants have both a mentee and a mentor at the same time.

How does Statera create mentor / mentee pairs?

Regional Coordinator teams create pairs based on your intake surveys. All information in surveys is confidential and used exclusively for the pairing process.

Once I’m paired with a mentor / mentee, how do we begin?

You’ll receive an introductory packet and optional guided curriculum for the first meeting and beyond.

Why do you only charge mentees?

Statera Mentorship is comprised of volunteers. The success of this grassroots movement is founded on the generosity and good will of our mentors. Mentors have the option of matching their mentee’s $30 fee with a donation, but it is certainly not required. Mentors are already donating their valuable time and hard-earned expertise to create pathways and opportunities for growth, achievement, and success. Statera deeply values their contribution. Our mentees pay a nominal $30 fee so that Statera can create a strong infrastructure for the program’s success and longevity.
