Queer Mentoring Program

Interested in a Queer Mentoring Program at the UW?!

The Q Center is connecting UW students who are discovering, exploring, questioning, or otherwise engaging with their sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression with other LGBTQ UW students, faculty, staff, or alumni who have been there, can relate, and have life experiences from which to draw upon to provide amazing mentoring.

What’s the Purpose?

The Queer Mentoring Program provides an affirming, exciting, and safe environment in which one’s experience with sexuality and gender identities and expressions is celebrated and supported by educated and experienced mentors. Mentors can talk with you about your joys, concerns, questions, and challenges in your private and community life. Mentors are knowledgeable about community resources, seek to make a contribution to the LGBTQ communities, are accountable to their mentee and the Mentoring Program, and are willing to make a significant time commitment to their mentees.
