Bridge Builders Member Mentoring Program

Jennifer Stockdale • July 26, 2021

GBU's mission is about securing futures for our members while giving back. That's why we have created the new Bridge Builders Member Mentoring Program. This program connects our members who are starting out or starting over with GBU members who have expert-level experience in their fields. We are all stronger when we work together. Bridge Builders allows you as a GBU member to give back and help build futures in your own GBU community!

How it Works

Be A Mentor

Visit the "Bridge Builders" tab in the GBU Life Member Community. Sign up to become a mentor by listing your areas of expertise. You can set start and end dates for being a mentor, as well as choose how many fellow members you wish to advise. The Member Community will match you with members looking for advice in your areas of expertise. You can communicate through the Member Community to decide how often you will meet and if it will be via phone call, online or in-person. You can pause your mentor status at any time.

Find a Mentor

Visit the "Bridge Builders" tab in the GBU Life Member Community. You can search for a mentor to partner with based on location or areas of expertise. Once a mentor has accepted your request, you can communicate through the Member Community to decide how often you will meet and if it will be via phone call, online or in person. You can change mentors or cancel your activity in the program at any time.

Guidelines

You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in the program.
You must agree to abide by GBU Life's Program Code of Conduct.
GBU will send periodic surveys via email to gauge program participation and results.
