Safety Guidelines

Follow these best practices to ensure a safe and positive mentorship experience

Meet in Public Spaces

If meeting in person, always choose public locations for your first few sessions. Coffee shops, libraries, and co-working spaces are ideal.

Protect Personal Information

Don't share sensitive personal information like your home address, financial details, or passwords. Use the platform's messaging system initially.

Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off or uncomfortable, trust your gut. You're never obligated to continue a mentorship that doesn't feel right.

Keep Communication Professional

Maintain professional boundaries. If conversations become inappropriate or make you uncomfortable, report the behavior immediately.

Verify Identities

Review profiles carefully. Look for complete profiles with verified information, professional photos, and genuine recommendations.

Watch for Red Flags

Be cautious of anyone asking for money, pushing for immediate in-person meetings, or being evasive about their background.

Red Flags to Watch For

Be aware of these warning signs. If you encounter any of these behaviors, stop communication and report the user immediately.

Requesting money or financial assistance

Pushing for personal contact information too quickly

Being overly flattering or romantic in nature

Refusing to verify identity or provide professional background
