This time frame is flexible, however, mentorships should be completed by the end of the chosen period (6 or 12 months). Sessions will be conducted over the phone or email, although Skype and iChat are possibilities. Assignments will be given by the mentor at the end of each session to be completed within the three-week timeframe. Images should be posted or emailed to the mentor with enough time for the mentor to review the work before the next scheduled session.

It will be important to respect the mentors’ time commitments to this program, as all of our mentors are busy professionals. Each mentor session is 75 minutes. Any contact with your mentor between these scheduled sessions should to be kept to emergencies.
