Becoming a mentor for Rainbow Labs to support the next generation of LGBTQ+ youth is life changing. We offer a comprehensive mentoring experience across all our programs - Storytelling Lab, Accelerator Lab, One Bold Summer, Sports Lab, and more.

As a mentor you can expect:

- Group Mentoring: Almost all of our mentoring experiences are done in groups. That means you get a mentor team-mate who will support you and the group.

- Mentor Training: All of our mentors receive training and orientation. This covers topics like mandated reporting, identity development, LGBTQ+ 101, youth development, trauma-informed care, and more.

- Rainbow Labs Staff Support: You aren't alone in your mentoring journey. We have developed a support network which includes our Rainbow Labs staff. They will provide direct resources, support, and guidance during your time with us.

-Communication Tools: All our mentors are given a Rainbow Labs email and Slack Channel. These two communication tools offer containment strategies. We want to maintain healthy relationships in our programming and these tool support that. The Slack Channel offer a digital space for mentors to convene during program to discuss their experiences, youth, and offer additional resources.

-Short Mentoring Times: We offer short mentoring "sprints" with high levels of mentoring time in a short amount of time. Most of our programming runs in 6 - 10 week increments.
