Getting to meet with [my mentor] over the past year and a half has been an amazing experience. They have helped me countless times with transition related advice and in general mentoring me through tough situations. Our meetings are an important space for me to talk to someone with shared experiences and similar interests that we can bond over.

I feel really good about my match with my mentor. They help me a lot with whatever I need, and I always know I can talk to them about issues, personal or otherwise. We discuss lots of topics in the media and talk about how that correlates with politics and social issues too. They have helped me so much and I love talking to them.

I like that I could talk about what it was like growing up LGBTQ+ with someone who understands.
