WOCA Mentor Sign-Up Form

Contact Information

Thank you for your interest in serving as an WOCA mentor with the DePaul University WOCA Mentorship Program! The WOCA Mentorship Programs provide undergraduate students the opportunity to connect with the Chicago legal community to equip them with the tools and resources to guide their success in the legal profession. Mentoring programs allow women of color undergraduate students to meet and network with mentors in legal professions.

Recruitment for the 2023-2024 programs are now open! To serve as a volunteer mentor, please complete and submit the form below.

Please note, while we do our best to pair every mentor with a student mentee, pairings are made based on student interest and/or demand and cannot guarantee you will be matched with a student. Pairing announcements will be made on a rolling basis.

If you have questions about the WOCA Mentorship Program, please contact Magoli Garcia, WOCA President, at mgarc253@depaul.edu.
