Dear JMMP Friends,
There are only 2 more days to register for the 2026 Stone Scholars Joint Minority Mentorship Program (JMMP)!!! Each year we pair Seattle-area law students with an assigned local lawyer or judge mentor for what we call the Rafael Stone Scholars Mentorship Program.
If you are interested in being a mentee in 2026, please sign up below by Sunday, February 15, 2026. There are only a few spots left!
Please Save-the-Date for the in-person Kick-Off Event at Foster Garvey's Seattle law office on Thursday, March 5th from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. You will be notified in advance if you are matched!

--------Stone Scholars Joint Minority Mentorship Program & Kick-Off Event----------
Lawyers and Judges: Have you ever reached a point in your career and thought, "If only I had known...."
Law Students: Have you ever wished you had advice from someone who has actually been there?
Mentors meet Mentees!
The mission of the Joint Minority Mentorship Program (JMMP) is to promote the retention, growth, and success of minority* law students and new lawyers as they enter the legal profession, through formalized one-on-one mentorship matches and practical follow-up events throughout the year.
Participants will be formally matched, and pairs will create their own agreement regarding discussion topics, meetings, and follow-up. The formal program will last through the end of 2026. But we hope the relationships will continue beyond.
JMMP is generously sponsored by the Opportunity & Progress Council – Foster Garvey’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiative.
