How It Works

Our simple but powerful process for creating lasting change, one person at a time.

Step 1

Register Your Interest

Visit the OSF website to express your interest in becoming a Friend (mentor). A team member will reach out to schedule a 30-minute Zoom call to learn more about you and your motivations for joining the OSF network.

  • Complete a simple online form
  • Participate in a brief introductory call
  • Share your skills and interests

Step 2

Connect with a Mentee

Once approved, you'll be matched with an individual in need of support. The first step is a three-way Zoom call between you, the mentee, and a OSF team member. During this call, you'll collaboratively define the project or challenge the mentee is facing, and establish expectations, communication frequency, and how you'll work together toward achieving the goal.

  • Get matched based on skills and needs
  • Participate in an introductory meeting
  • Define clear goals and expectations
Step 3

Mentorship in Action

You'll provide practical support, advocacy, and resources as you work alongside your mentee. The project will continue until the goal is reached, the challenge is solved, or an alternative solution has been found.

  • Offer guidance and practical support
  • Connect mentees with resources
  • Work together toward defined goals

Step 4

Pay It Forward

Once the project concludes, and subject to approval, the mentee becomes a Friend themselves, offering mentorship and support to another individual in need. The process starts again, creating a continuous loop of empowerment and community building.

  • Mentee transitions to become a mentor
  • Create a ripple effect of positive change
  • Build a growing community of support
