NGL is part of the Cesar A. Perales (CAP) Leadership Institute that works to increase the legal profession pipeline for first-generation college students, students from immigrant households and those from underrepresented communities.

The role of an NGL mentor is to provide a pre-law mentee guidance to support their interest in a legal career. Mentees may be high school upperclassmen or college students or recent college grads. Our program has expanded beyond the New York tri-state area to Florida, Washington DC, and Chicago.

Duties:

• Attorney mentors must be willing to interact with their assigned mentees on a monthly basis.
  • The communication method should be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
  • The attorney mentors must be able to commit 1-2 hours per month to participate on NGL related activities (this includes the one-on-one mentoring session).
• Mentors must be willing to review written work such as cover letters, resumes, and diversity statements.
• Also, the mentor will give advice and guidance in both personal and professional experiences of getting into law school.
• The mentor will encourage their mentee to attend group events designed to inform his/her journey.
