What if I never mentored before?
No worries.  Moxxie guides you step-by-step so that you never feel alone and unsure about what to do.  If you are presented with a situation that you are unprepared, uncomfortable or ill-equipped to handle, Moxxie will step in and assist.

How do the mentees get recruited?
Each college has different ways of informing the students.  Moxxie informs the colleges on the ideal candidate.  Moxxie then interviews each candidate to determine if she is a good fit for the program. 

What if my mentee and I are not a good match?
There is no reason to feel uncomfortable about requesting that we re-assign your mentee to a better suited mentor.  Our goal is provide the best mentor/mentee pairs for the best possible outcome.
