Skillify connects working professionals with Nevada middle and high school students who lack access to career networks. One conversation with you can open doors they didn't know existed.
Sign Up to Be a MentorIt's simple, flexible, and genuinely impactful. Here's what makes it worth your time.
Talk about your career journey, your day-to-day, and what you wish someone told you when you were a student.
Just one 15-minute conversation can make a lasting impact. Mentor on your schedule.
All conversations happen over a quick phone call. No commute, no apps to download, no logistics.
You're paired with a student who is genuinely interested in your career path.
We coach students on professionalism and help them write emails to schedule the call. You just reply to find a time. Once the call is done, nothing else is asked of you.
Many of these students have zero professional connections. You might be their first.
Fill out a quick form telling us about your career background and interests. It takes less than 5 minutes.
We'll pair you with a student who's curious about your field. We match based on career interest and availability.
Meet your student over the phone for a 15-minute call. We coach students ahead of time on the right questions to ask, so the conversation is focused, thoughtful, and easy for you.
"I just finished my mentor call. It really made me feel like I wanted to work on that job right away. Before this call I really did not want to go to a 4-year university but now I think I have changed my mind. I actually would have never done it myself because I just didn't know how."
"I DID IT! My mentor call went really well and I was able to ask all the questions I wanted to! One piece of advice was to just keep going no matter the struggles. It gave me motivation to get better at my work."
"Wow, my mentor actually said he was excited to meet me because of the email I wrote to him! He told me about his experience being an undercover narcotics special agent, then told me about a military academy in Las Vegas that I could look into!"
"I'm so glad I got to meet my mentor. She was a really great person to talk to and made me feel super comfortable. She encouraged me to cold email professors and other professionals in the field I'm interested in. I didn't realize professors could be so accessible!"
One conversation. One student. A lifetime of impact. Join 215+ professionals opening doors for the next generation.
