When you receive a mentee request, review the mentee's profile and goals to assess alignment with your expertise. Accept the request to begin the mentorship if it's a good fit. If you feel the mentee's needs are outside your area of expertise, it's okay to decline, allowing them to find a more suitable mentor.



You don't have to reject or accept requests right away. Before making your final decision, you can message a mentee. Check this page for more details about messaging: Messaging

You can return to reviewing mentee profiles in the Waiting for Review tab under My Requests.
Once you're ready to decide whether to enroll in the mentorship program with a mentee, return to their profile and click either Accept or Reject.
When you accept a mentee request, their profile will appear under My Mentees:

Note: You can have multiple mentees.
Rejected mentees will appear in the Rejected Requests section.

Some mentees in the Rejected Requests section may appear as Auto rejected. This happens when a mentee applies to multiple mentors and another mentor accepts their request first. Mentors who didn't respond in time will see the mentee's profile marked as auto rejected.
