+
+The SIGPLAN Long-Term Mentoring Committee (SIGPLAN-M) organizes an international long-term mentoring program for programming languages researchers.
+The goal of the program is to address two mentoring needs in the programming languages community:
+
+1. For aspiring or junior researchers, it is difficult---but necessary---to form long-term connections in the programming languages community,
+and to access the perspectives of researchers from other institutions.
+2. For senior researchers, it is difficult to access mentorship of any kind.
+
+In response to these needs, SIGPLAN-M matches mentors with mentees from different institutions
+for mentoring relationships that last at least a year.
+As of December, 2020, there are more than 250 mentees and 150 mentors participating in the program.
+Here are some testimonials from mentees:
+
+> Having someone to talk to about my future has been one of the few good highlights of 2020.
+> It has made feel like there might be good things in the future, not just bad ones.
+
+> As a beginning grad student having limited interaction with my new department because of
+> COVID, the mentorship program gives me the outside perspective (beyond my research group)
+> that I would otherwise be missing.

+## Getting Involved
+
+We welcome aspiring and current programming languages researchers from all walks of life to serve as mentors, mentees, or both.
+SIGPLAN members and non-members alike are welcome, and there is no cost to participate.
+There are no limitations on country of residence or languages spoken.
+
+Please see our [mentoring guidelines](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eueaiHjNhhqb3JC3wnNlTRcFquNl7BN1OqBczUBumNU/edit?usp=sharing) for more information
+on what the mentoring relationships look like, what sort of commitment is involved, and what other resources might be useful for mentors and mentees.
+
+### Becoming a Mentor
+
+We are always recruiting new mentors!
+Graduate students, postdocs, industrial researchers, and faculty all make great mentors.
+Please sign up [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfN6M66lJTfKShaJ_OBhAFDHOZpDnYGixcXzhqn7UG1qcr6qg/viewform) if you are interested in serving as a mentor.
+
+### Becoming a Mentee
+
+We typically recruit and match new mentees in waves leading up to the POPL, PLDI, ICFP, and SPLASH conferences.
+You may sign up at any time using [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4MbSClp1t4bgOiDC6wIm16y3nYxk9Hj1zMo7qMdg39KrCxA/viewform).
+
+When there are more mentors than mentees, we maintain a waitlist and match as mentors become available.
+In matching from the waitlist, we prioritize PLMW attendees, members of marginalized groups,
+aspiring or junior researchers with little access to the programming languages community, and anyone who has an urgent need for mentoring.
+
+Examples of urgent needs for mentoring include but are not limited to
+mental health struggles, advisor-advisee conflicts, ongoing job or graduate school applications, and abusive situations at work or in the community.
+If any of these apply, and if you are comfortable doing so, please feel free to contact us so that we match you in a timely fashion.

+SIGPLAN understands the importance of mentoring in the programming languages community
+for broadening participation, improving retention, and building a healthy community.
+SIGPLAN has two mentoring initiatives: the Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop
+([PLMW](/Conferences/PLMW)) and the Long-Term Mentoring Committee ([SIGPLAN-M](./LongTermMentoring)).
