The K-SACNAS Mentoring page is a place where anyone can reach out to a mentor for help, advice, or discuss similar interests. If you need advice on getting an internship or research position in your field, then you can contact one of our mentors! If you're interested in an extracurricular activity, but don't know where to go or how to get started with it in Manhattan, then a mentor could point you in the right direction!
