Announcing the 2021 Golden Mentor Award Winners

We’re touched by the entire community of mentors around the world who did all they could to care for one another and for making conversations and knowledge accessible for all.

We’re determined to celebrate what is good—kindness, welcoming, and belonging—despite attempts to challenge the trust these feelings require. We're proud to celebrate them for the first time in 2021. Introducing Golden Mentor Awards.

The Oscars for Mentorship

Our annual Golden Mentor awards celebrate all the magical moments that mentors have impacted together throughout the year. The qualification criteria ranges from reviews from mentees, the consistency of impact (not frequency), contributions to community like helping fellow mentors, etc and more.

So without further ado, here are this year's Golden Mentor Award winners 🏆:
