Why do I have to apply?

We welcome all applications to the Power of Two mentorship program. All mentees will be approved within 5-10 business days. A member of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation personally reviews all applications to ensure that those who are applying are eligible. This is done to protect the integrity of the Power of Two community and to keep all members safe. 

What types of support can mentors provide?

Mentors can share their personal experience with IBD. Please note that mentors are not mental health professionals, and can not be used as an emergency resource. 

How long will I meet with my mentor?

Mentors can be available to you throughout your journey, we understand everyone has different needs. You may want to connect with a mentor only once, or you may prefer an ongoing relationship. By default, all mentorship connections last for three months. This mentorship connection can be extended based on both the mentor and mentees availability as well as personal preference.
