LDG Mentoring Program


LDG Mentoring Program

The LDG Mentoring Program RELAUNCHES JANUARY 2027

We are currently pausing the program while we design an updated version that reflects the needs of today’s leather and kink community. Applications will reopen in 2026, and the next full program cycle will begin in 2027.

Thank you for your support and interest during this moment of inflection.

Stay informeD

If you’d like to be notified when the new application period opens, please join the LDG Program Email List.

Share your experience

As part of the relaunch, we’re inviting past participants and the broader community to offer input on what has been most useful and what will strengthen the next version of the program. We sent emails to everyone, but we may have inadvertently missed a few. If you wish to provide feedback, please email Erik Will who will send a link: Let him know if you are a past mentor, past mentee, someone who applied but was unmatched/withdrew early, or if you’re a community member who hasn’t participated but want to offer thoughts. Feedback is requested no later than January 1, 2026.

You may also email Erik if you prefer to participate in a small-group conversation. One will be scheduled later.

About the LDG Mentoring Program

Founded in 2012, the LDG Mentoring Program has connected hundreds of newer members of the leather, kink, and BDSM communities with experienced mentors who can help them explore safely, confidently, and with intention.

LDG itself has been an educational and social hub of the San Francisco leather community since 1996. The updated mentoring program will continue this mission while expanding clarity, support, and cultural awareness for all participants..

Monthly LDG Programs

While mentoring is paused, you are always welcome at LDG’s monthly programs and events. It’s a great way to meet community members, learn from lived experience, and stay connected.
