While there are many formal and informal ways to gain mentoring experience, read below to learn about a few opportunities you can take advantage of while at UCSF.

​Science and Health Education Partnership (SEP) 
SEP’s High School Intern Program supports San Francisco public high school students as they conduct research in UCSF labs for 8 weeks in the summer. Each intern completes a short-term research project under the guidance of a scientist mentor. Learn more at the information sessions they host in the spring. 

Summer Research Training Program
UCSF hosts a cohort of undergraduate students in the health sciences each summer. Participants in the program take part in seminars, lectures, and social events, creating a cohesive and supportive community. Visit the main page to learn more and for contact information to get involved.

UCSF-CCSF Inclusive Mentoring Fellows program for Bioscience Researchers
Mentor an intern from City College of San Francisco's Biotechnology Program and participate in a supported learning experience to become an inclusive mentor. Fellows will mentor a CCSF intern who is training for a career as a laboratory assistant or technician, or who is planning to pursue a degree in the biosciences. 

Minds Matter Bay Area (MMBay)
MMBay is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that helps driven yet underserved students break the cycle of poverty by graduating from the nation's top universities. Learn more about opportunities to participate as a board member, mentor, or instructor (in San Francisco) or to join their site leadership team (in Oakland and San Jose).
