A Mentorship Network Map is a valuable tool for identifying and visualizing the individuals who provide support and guidance in various aspects of your professional and personal life. Creating your own Mentorship Network Map puts you at the center of your network empowering you to see your network more clearly and intentionally build and maintain it.

- Download the document that corresponds to your classification.
- Review the category descriptions populated on the map and add additional categories that reflect areas of need.
- Identify individual developers in these areas or individuals you could reach out to for support, and add their name to the box.
Tips
