Best Practices for Match Closure

What is match closure?

A natural part of life is the closure of relationships as people grow and change. Match closure is the process of a mentoring relationship coming to an end.

Why do we need match closure?

While we always hope for a mentoring relationship to last a lifetime, we need to be prepared for the possibility that a mentoring relationships may end. Matches end for a variety of reasons, including life changes like a mentor moving away or the mentee going off to college. Sometimes, a match isn’t the best fit for mentor and mentee — this is okay. But we still want the closure process to be a positive one and leave the best possible impression on mentee and mentor.
