Thank you for taking the time to fill out this Mentee Application Form for Serica's AAPI Women’s Leadership Mentorship Program! Learning more about your background, needs, and capacities will help us create matches that will be most impactful to our selected Mentees.
All responses will be kept confidential. The Serica team works hard to match Mentors to Mentees to the best of their ability based on the information provided.
PLEASE NOTE: Our 2026 pilot program will have a very limited number of Mentor-Mentee pairings (approximately 10-12). If you are not selected this year, we encourage you to keep your eye out to our future programs, and re-apply.
We will notify you either way towards the end of April whether we are able to match you with a Mentor for the 2026 program.
CRITERIA FOR OUR IDEAL MENTEE
AAPI women in mid-career roles looking to transition from “doer” to leader
Must reside within the Greater New York City area with easy access to attending all events in the city
Motivated to grow their leadership skills, take on greater responsibilities, and develop strategic thinking
Open to feedback and willing to take action on career development advice
Committed to engaging in the mentorship process and applying insights to their career growth.
Serica is looking for applicants who are ready to take full ownership of their experience from day one. This is a highly self-directed experience, and our Mentees are expected to lead their journey throughout the year. That means being proactive, initiating communication, and responding promptly and professionally to all correspondence with mentors and the company, as well as asking for help and support when needed.
This program is an opportunity for AAPI women to break barriers, elevate their leadership presence, and advance in their careers with the guidance of those who have walked the path before them. This program is FREE to selected Mentees. Serica’s Mentors will be volunteering their time for this program.
