TERMS

Terms of Use

Plain-language rules for using this site and taking part in MJN, so everyone knows what to expect.

Last updated: October 16, 2026

The short version
  • ✓MJN is free, volunteer peer mentorship. It is not therapy or professional advice.
  • ✓In a crisis in the US, call or text 988. Mentors are not emergency support.
  • ✓Everyone is 18+, treats each other with respect, and keeps conversations private.
  • ✓No money, sales or romance through a mentorship. Ever.

1. About these terms

These terms apply to your use of this website and the mentorship programs offered by Magical Journey Network, Inc. ("MJN", "we", "us"), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. By using the site or joining a program, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. What MJN is, and is not

MJN offers free, one-to-one peer mentorship. Our mentors are volunteers who share their own lived experience. They are not therapists, counselors, doctors, lawyers or financial advisors, and nothing on this site or in a mentorship conversation is medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.

Mentorship works alongside professional care, never in place of it. If you are in crisis in the US, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 in an emergency.

3. Who can take part

You must be 18 or older to be mentored or to mentor with MJN. Mentors also agree to a conversation with our team, our code of ethics and the boundaries we set before any match is made.

4. How we treat each other

Everyone in the network, mentors and mentees alike, agrees to:

  • treat each other with honesty, respect and kindness,
  • keep what is shared in a mentorship conversation private,
  • never ask for or offer money, gifts, loans, business deals or romantic relationships through a mentorship,
  • never harass, threaten, discriminate against or pressure anyone,
  • tell our team if something feels wrong.

We may pause or end any match, or remove anyone from the network, if these standards are broken. You can end a match at any time, for any reason, and ask to be rematched.

5. Our mentors are volunteers

Mentors give their time for free and are not employees or agents of MJN. We talk with every mentor before matching and support them throughout, but we cannot guarantee any particular outcome from a mentorship, and each person remains responsible for their own decisions.

6. Stories, photos and what you send us

When you send us a story or photo and tick the consent box, you give MJN permission to share it on our website, social media and materials about our work, with your name as you provided it. You confirm that everyone in the photo agreed. You can ask us to take it down at any time and we will remove it from our website and future posts.

7. Donations

Magical Journey Network, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so gifts are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows. You will receive a receipt by email. Donations are generally final, but if you made a mistake, email us within 30 days and we will do our best to refund it. Monthly gifts can be cancelled at any time.

8. Shop and affiliate links

Our merchandise is sold through Etsy and is subject to Etsy's terms. Our bookshelf uses Amazon affiliate links: as an Amazon Associate, Magical Journey Network, Inc. earns from qualifying purchases, which never changes what you pay. We are not responsible for the content or practices of other websites we link to.

9. Our name and content

The Magical Journey Network name, the phoenix logo, and the words, photos and design of this site belong to MJN or the people who shared them with us. Please do not copy or reuse them without asking. We are usually happy to say yes.

10. Limits of our responsibility

We work hard to keep this site accurate and the network safe, but the site and our programs are provided "as is". To the fullest extent the law allows, MJN, its board, staff and volunteers are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site or participation in a mentorship.

Please use the site as it is meant to be used: no hacking, spam, harmful code or attempts to break it. If you misuse the site or break these terms and that causes a claim against MJN, you agree to cover the costs of that claim.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States.

12. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we will update the date at the top of this page. If the change is important, we will let you know by email or with a notice on the site.
