Thank you for your interest in participating in Formation, a paid mentorship program that pairs BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) local college students studying design with established BIPOC design professionals primarily in the greater Portland, Oregon metro area. In-person and virtual participation options are available.
BIPOC mentors with expertise in all design professions are encouraged to apply, including graphic, interior, product, architecture, apparel, experiential, or any other form of design that shapes our environment or physical experience. Please submit this form to apply for the opportunity to mentor a student during the 2024-25 program.
Application Deadline: Friday, November 15, 2024, 11:59pm
Why join the Formation family? Across different backgrounds and levels of experience, we have heard from members of the design community that they would have benefited from having an advocate early on in their careers. As a mentor for the Formation family, you will have the opportunity to be that advocate for the next generation of BIPOC design professionals. Learn more about Formation.
