Turn "willing to help" into real connections
Your alumni already tell you they want to give back. Mentoring matches them to the students and younger alumni who need them, and runs the whole programme on the profiles and data you already hold. In development now, joining the plan tiers at launch.
Coming soon. Join the interest list to be notified the moment it ships.
Mentoring is currently in development. Join the interest list to be notified the moment it launches, and to help shape it.
Willingness to mentor is the most underused asset a school holds. Alumni offer it on their profile, and without a structured way to match and manage those offers, they sit idle. Meanwhile students and early-career alumni who would benefit most never get connected. Run manually, mentoring is a matching spreadsheet and a stack of introduction emails no one has time for.
Mentoring closes that loop. It reads the "willing to help" data already in your Directory and turns good intentions into ongoing relationships, without the admin.
Mentoring reads the "willing to help" field already in your Directory and matches mentors to mentees by field and goal. Alumni opt in and manage their own availability. Mentees request, mentors accept, and the connection is made inside Alumnly. No spreadsheet of pairings, no stack of introduction emails.
Smart matching from the profiles you already hold
Mentoring draws on the career history, industry and "willing to help" fields already in your Directory. Alumni who offered to help are matched to students and younger alumni by field, interest and goal, so a programme that would take weeks to coordinate by hand starts from the data you have on day one.
Alumni offer and manage it themselves
Alumni opt in from their own profile and choose how they want to help: one-off careers advice, guest speaking, or ongoing mentoring. They manage their own availability, so your team is not the middle of every conversation.
A simple request-and-accept flow
Mentees browse suggested mentors and send a request, mentors accept, and the connection is made inside Alumnly. No introduction emails to broker, no spreadsheet of who has been paired with whom.
See the whole programme at a glance
A simple admin view shows active pairings, pending requests and programme activity, so you can steward the initiative and report on it to the board without running it by hand. This is the direction for Mentoring; join the interest list to help shape the detail before it ships.
A structured programme, without becoming the middle of every conversation.
The alumni who ticked "willing to help" are already there. Mentoring surfaces them, matches them, and lets mentees request a connection directly. You set the programme up and steward it, rather than hand-pairing names in a spreadsheet and chasing introductions by email.
A visible link between alumni and current students, and a story worth telling.
Alumni giving their time to students is one of the most compelling proofs of a thriving community. Mentoring makes that activity visible and reportable: active pairings, careers guidance delivered, students supported. A board headline about community, not just fundraising.
One more programme, on the platform you already run. No new vendor.
Mentoring lives inside Alumnly, on the same database, login and brand as everything else. No separate mentoring platform to procure, integrate or pay for. When it launches, it is included in the relevant plan tiers, not a bolt-on invoice.
Mentoring is not yet live. It is being built to run on the Directory every plan already includes, so it will slot into the relevant tiers when it ships rather than arriving as a separate product. Join the interest list to be notified the moment it launches, and to influence how it works.
Your alumni have told you they want to help. Mentoring is how that becomes real. Join the interest list to be first to know when it launches, and to shape it while it is still being built.
