Mentors are used at all educational levels, with the broad intent of the mentor supporting students’ school work, personal issues, and, at later ages, being a guide in the area of careers. Informal mentoring has long been seen as common and beneficial in social service organizations. For students, some of the barriers to participating in mentorship included timing, compatibility, and knowing how to appropriately interact with one’s mentor. Mentorship is a form of relationship building that involves a certain level of commitment from both the mentor and the mentee. Generally, mentorship as a component in the Master of Science in the Nonprofit Leadership degree program has been a successful experience from both the mentor and mentee viewpoint. Despite the challenges, which for the most part are found across many different relationship types, mentees and mentors are able to come together to contribute to the formation of this successful relationship.
