We hide your contact information during the first introduction. You choose what to share. Mentor contact options unlock only after the mentor accepts your introduction.

You have the right to pause, end, or leave a mentor relationship at any time. No reason is required.

Tell us if a mentor or participant gives medical advice, pressures you to disclose, misgenders you, makes racist or anti-LGBTQ comments, asks for money, makes sexual comments, violates privacy, or makes you feel unsafe.

Reports are private and go to trained program staff. After a concern is submitted, the mentor is paused from new matches until staff review the report.
