Cross Cultural Mentorship is a program to support a relationship between a mentor and a mentee from potentially different cultural backgrounds. The mentor and mentee may come from different countries, ethnicities, religions, or any other dimension of diversity that affects their values, beliefs, behaviors, and communication styles. Participating in this program is an opportunity to support a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and innovative workforce. To learn more about how this program is different from traditional mentorship programs, view Cross Cultural Mentorship - Guiding Framework - Video Exchange (mayo.edu).
