Support & Resources for Mentors

When you join the Poised Table, we’ll guide you every step of the way:

  • Align your offering with our Be P.O.I.S.E.D. Plan™ and UniPath Compass Map™ frameworks
  • Ensure your Journey connects with real educational goals and state standards (without the stress)
  • Help you set your own schedule and pricing—you decide how and when you contribute
  • Assist with background check coordination and clear safety expectations
