Hello IDF/NYC,

Has it been 6 months already? There is A LOT that has happened this year and one thing is certain: we aren’t the same people we were in January.

We hope those in our inaugural cohort of the IDF/NYC Mentorship program can at least attribute a small piece of positive change to the creation of a new friendship brought through shared mentorship.

We’re excited to be kicking off our second Mentorship cohort. To start things off, we want to offer a public training webinar on How to be a Mentor or Mentee. These trainings are required to be a part of the mentorship program because we deeply value everyone being on the same page. For our first cohort, these trainings were only available to folks who filled out the Mentorship Opt-in Form. This time, we want to offer the training to everyone so that you know what to expect of the program before needing to opt in!

REMINDER: HOW IDF/NYC MENTORSHIP WORKS:

  • The program is voluntary & is 100% free
  • Mentorship cohorts run for 6 months (e.g. Jun-Dec)
  • Mentors are paired with mentees based on like-interests, based on opt-in form submissions
  • Mentors work with mentees on career coaching, job searching, portfolio building, etc. They meet at their own discretion.
  • Cohort 2 Timeline:
    • Mentorship opt-in submissions will ‘close’ 6/20
    • Two 'closed' training webinars will be hosted on 6/24 & 6/26 for members who've submitted the opt-in form
    • IDF/NYC leadership will review submissions last week of June and pair mentors with mentees
    • We will reach out to make official email introductions for those who made it into Cohort 2 end of first week of July
    • We will reach out to notify everyone who did not make it into Cohort 2

Hi!

If I'm unable to attend the webinar due to schedule conflicts, will the webinar be recorded? Will I be able to access the webinar at another time?

Hi
I'm a little confused about the time of this event.
7:00pm - 8:00pm (UTC -04:00)
4 am UTC would be midnight EDT
Am I mistaken?

Appreciate your help
Thanks!

Meet-up attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meet-up by clicking “Attend this meet-up” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meet-ups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meet-up (and you’re welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meet-ups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
