    Hi [First Name],

    [Insert a quick greeting or note based on your relationship — e.g., “Hope you’re doing great!” or “Thought of you as soon as I saw this opportunity!”]

    I recently mentored with Wavemakers, and it was such a rewarding experience that I wanted to share it with you, especially since they’re now looking for new mentors for upcoming cohorts. I thought you’d be a great fit!

    Wavemakers is a career-building program for post-secondary students where they develop skills to prepare them for the workforce.

    As a Wavemakers mentor, you’ll guide a small team through a career-focused group project. You’ll meet with them virtually over a few weeks, helping them tackle challenges and build confidence.

    It’s also designed to be flexible and easy to fit into a busy schedule, just a few hours over a few weeks. It’s a low-commitment way to build your leadership and communication skills while making a real impact.

    [Insert a quick personal reflection here — e.g.,
    “Mentoring pushed me to become a better listener and coach.”
    “I was surprised how much I learned from my students.”
    “I wish I’d had something like this when I was starting out.”]

    If you’re curious, here is a link to read more about the program and register if you’re interested.

    I’ve attached a one-pager with more info, and I’m happy to chat if you have questions or want to hear more about my experience.

    Warm regards, 

    Your Signature

    Picture two students, both full of potential - one has a mentor, one doesn’t.

    The student with a mentor has a guide who helps them build confidence, answer questions, and celebrate wins together. With this support, they feel empowered, ready to tackle new challenges, and able to grow their skills.

    Without a mentor, the other student is just as capable but navigates independently. While they make strides, they miss out on the feedback, encouragement, and insights a mentor can bring.

    As a Wavemakers mentor, you’ll be that difference. You’ll have the chance to inspire, encourage, and equip the next generation with the tools they need to succeed—all while gaining a sense of fulfillment yourself.

    Become a Wavemakers Mentor and make an impact. Cohorts starting this January - register now!
