The CEA University Groups team runs a few programs that involve connecting newer university EA group organizers with more experienced organizers. This upcoming semester, we will be running our Organizer Support Program (OSP) again, and we’re looking for mentors!

While we are interested in hearing from potential mentors who would only be able to mentor a few groups, we are particularly interested in hiring senior mentors.

Note: You don’t have to have mentored before to qualify as a senior mentor and we have plenty of mentors who also participate in the program themselves!

How do I become a mentor or senior mentor?

Fill out this form by November 12th

• This form is for both people interested in being senior mentors and people who would like to apply for lower-commitment forms of mentorship.
  • We are more likely to accept mentors who are able to take on larger commitments as this reduces our overhead.
• If you have not participated in CEA programs in the past, we may ask you for additional information.
• Begin mentoring a group around mid-December
• Not sure if you have the prerequisites?
  • We still encourage you to fill out the form!
