About the Mentorship Program
The Veg Club Mentorship Program supports students during the transition into a vegetarian, vegan or veg-curious lifestyle. We will connect you with a Mentor who will help guide your transition into a veg* lifestyle. This Mentor will provide assistance with things like staying healthy on a veg*diet, finding veg* eateries on and off campus, meal ideas and recipes, and so on. The program is flexible enough that both students can tailor the relationship to meet both of their goals.

3. What kinds of things will Mentors and Mentees be doing?
The nature of the relationship will largely be determined by the goals that both the Mentor and the Mentee have. Mentorship can take the form of things like sharing stories and experiences, offering guidance, and visiting veg* restaurants. The program is flexible enough that it can be built to create a supportive and open environment for both people in the relationship.
