Currently, the directory is a list of mentors willing to take on mentees, particularly from the BAME and lower socio-economic groups, with the aim being to diversify the creative and design industries.
The way mentees will be matched to you, will usually be through a third party that has visited Design Diversity Mentors, and selected you as a mentor, for example, a charity, school/university or other initiative with similar goals. This third party will usually guide you through the process of getting started, and advise or help you obtain any checks that may need to be done (like a DBS, if working with children, for example).
