Sign up for the SWE Mentor Network

The SWE Mentor Network is a private network for only SWE members that helps facilitate mentoring relationships. SWE members at all levels are able to offer mentoring services, receive mentoring, or even act as both a mentor and mentee.

There’s a few different ways to sign up:

Log in to the SWE member portal and click the signup link from the top menu
Keep an eye out for signup links in SWE’s weekly Monday newsletter
Or reach out to membership@swe.org so we can verify your SWE membership and send you an invite!
