Our Pillars
Bringing the vision to life
Community
With an emphasis on connecting humans, community is an essential part of our Opalverse. Apply to join our Slack Community for resources and to be the first to know about our upcoming mentorship programs.
Mentorship
If you’ve been here for a while, you know we freaking love mentorship. And have worked our blobs off to make mentorship easier, more fun, and more accessible to everyone. We host 4-week, virtual mentorship programs (check out GEM Programs) through our Slack community.
Career Development
While 1-on-1 mentorships and conversations are extremely valuable, there is a lot of magic in getting together as a group through workshops and events. Our team may host events, or co-host with companies. Want to host an event with us?

What we live by
Our Core Values
Embrace your inner blob.
We love a good blob. It is beautifully imperfect, completes itself, is like no other, and loves the curves of life. Our team strives to view our imperfections and what makes us different the best part of who we are.
Community makes the world go round.
Humans are made to thrive with a community around them. Our Opalverse is no exception. We created a collaborative and inclusive environment to help empower people to empower others, forming a safe, supportive space.
The world needs diverse perspectives.
We value differences brought to the same table and believe that everyone deserves a mentor that they can really connect with. That means we work to recruit, partner with, and serve diverse and often underrepresented communities.
Be the good you want to see in the world.
We won’t sugarcoat it–it takes a good person to be part of a mentorship community or program. No matter your role, you’ll need to be active, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the process.
Make your dreams a reality.
We have high standards and expectations for our team, and expect the same for the people we work with, including mentors, mentees, mentorship program hosts, partners, and sponsors. If you can dream of a better version of the world (or your little corner of it), then you can make it happen.
