🧭 Become a Mentor
Guide the next generation toward healthier habits and sharper minds.
Why Mentorship Matters
At Better Sleep Initiatives, mentorship is the bridge between research and real change. Our mentors—whether they’re older students, educators, health professionals, or researchers—play a vital role in empowering teens to understand the science of sleep and apply it to their everyday lives.
Sleep is a deeply personal, often overlooked aspect of wellness. With the right guidance, teens can transform their routines, reduce anxiety, and build habits that last a lifetime. As a mentor, you help make that transformation possible.
