Students can also contact
recruitment@ignitementoring.org directly and mention they are from Murdoch Guild for support.
Different roles within our program are given a certain number of hours. The only thing is that you will need to communicate to Murdoch students that they will have to commit to a full year with Ignite Mentoring to get the 40 hours, because mentoring is less than 40 per semester, and they cannot stop midway through the second semester once they do get to 40 hours.
