At Blacks in I/O, we believe that access, representation, and connection can change lives. That’s why we’re proud to launch our next Mentorship Program cohort, created to uplift and empower the next generation of Black and Brown leaders in I/O psychology.

This year-long, virtual program (aligned with the academic calendar) pairs members in guided mentorship relationships, offering structure, resources, and reflection tools to help both mentors and mentees grow. With the experience, wisdom, and networks of our mentors, we are building a community that doesn’t just open doors, it creates new ones.

Together, we are equipping future leaders with the confidence, skills, and support they need to shape workplaces and careers for years to come.

Testimonials

We know that being a minority in undergraduate or graduate programs, and even in the workplace, can sometimes feel isolating and overwhelming. That is why we created the Blacks in I/O Mentorship Program: to give you, our members, the chance to learn, connect, and grow alongside mentors who look like you and/or who are already working in the spaces you aspire to reach.

Through these connections, we are not only building careers but also fostering confidence, belonging, and community.

"My mentor went above and beyond, offering invaluable resources, including connections to people, organizations, and essential knowledge that would support my success on this journey. He never hesitated to share what was needed."

"My mentor supported my exploration of my multi-domain endeavors and helped me with focusing on what really matters based on what she has learned about me, as well as her culturally informed expertise in psychology. I'm very thankful for the relationship we have built."
