Your $199/month subscription features custom and careful match of your team with a Mentor, unlimited interactions, monthly parent updates, and access to parent content. The process is: 1) Fill out a 6-question application and then schedule a 10 minute introductory chat with a LINK Team Member. 2) Complete a questionnaire to tell us more about your teen and get the Mentor matching process started. 3) A LINK Team member will reach out to your teenager to get their buy-in. 4) You get to approve your teen’s Mentor before we introduce them to your teen.
