Mentoring is a high-impact strategy for supporting student success and is particularly important for rural community college students, who often face heightened structural and systemic inequities, highlighting the need for mentorship approaches tailored to their unique needs and strengths. This data note analyzes the descriptions of 587 mentorship programs at rural-serving community colleges, and highlights practices described at 44 mentoring-focused programs that can help address the specific needs of their students by applying critical mentorship approaches. We identify two key practices: Building Empowering and Inclusive Mentorship Spaces, which foster student reflection, agency, and advocacy to challenge power structures, and Cultural Identity and Community Engagement, which highlights cultural heritage, identity, and community partnerships to support student success. We pose reflection questions for practitioners applying these key practices, and invite readers to share practical insights, challenges, or strategies that have worked in their mentorship program(s) on our Rural Learner Success OER Commons platform.
