Young Alumni Mentoring Groups
Are you looking to gain clarity on who you are as a young professional and how your work aligns with what’s important to you? Would you like to do this work while building a strong network of Wake Forest alumni?
Since 2013, Young Alumni Mentoring Groups have provided a unique opportunity for hundreds of Wake Forest young professionals to come together for facilitated conversation, reflection, action planning, and to make meaningful connections about life and work. Together, you and your fellow group members will discuss:
- How to take ownership of your career, from goal-setting to creating an actionable career plan
- How to build an effective network in a remote/hybrid/online world
- How to clarify personal strengths, values, and interests and apply them to career and life decision-making
- How to navigate change, ambiguity, and disruption
- How to align your personal values and interests with your professional goals
- Strategies for building a life of intentions, managing work expectations, navigating organizational politics, managing burnout, and more
Mentoring groups are deep-dive, facilitated, professional development opportunities. Participants are expected to attend all meetings. These groups are open to alumni who graduated from the Undergraduate College only, in class years 2022 – 2026. In addition to the group experience you’ll get individual coaching along the way and leave with an action plan for what’s next for you.
Please note: These are not job search groups. If you need assistance with your search, please go here to request a career coaching appointment or explore the other resources available on our website.

“This group was an excellent way to connect with other alumni whom I might never have met otherwise to discuss meaningful topics in our personal and professional lives. Talking through these heavy topics with people in both similar and quite different situations helped provide a wide range of insights and perspectives. A great forum to discuss the big things on your mind and realize that you are not alone!”
