Mentee Application

Who Should Apply?

If you are a LatinX identifying early career professional or student that is currently (or planning) working on AI research and have an interest in being mentored by senior academics or industry professionals to improve your career during a three-month mentoring program that debuts at LXAI workshops co-located with prestigious AI and ML conferences.

Requirements:

Mentees may live and work anywhere in the world. However, they would have to identify as LatinX and be doing (or planning to) work in AI (Academia, Industry, Entrepreneurship, and so on) to be considered.

Applicants must provide a single page Commitment & Motivation Statement. The statement can be written in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Make sure to have it ready before completing this form.

Expectations:

The LatinX in AI Mentoring Program requires mentors and mentees to meet once a month leading up to and including our colocated workshops.

We will ask mentors and mentees to provide feedback about their experience which will be shared during a Mentoring Hour at the official event.

Following the completion of this program, you'll be asked to complete a quick survey about your experience and opportunities for the program's improvement.

Deadlines:

To be considered for the 2026-01 mentorship program, applicants must submit their applications before April 12th 2026. Applications sent after the closing date will be considered for future iterations of the program.

Notification of Acceptance:

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis for our bi-annual 3-month cohorts. Your application will be considered in alignment with the conferences which you selected for your preference.
