Volunteering with iMentor is a great opportunity to use the power of relationships to support a high school student toward college success.
iMentor is working to rebalance the odds and give every young person a fair chance to realize their dreams. iMentor matches whole grades of Bay Area public high school students from low-income communities with a college-educated mentor.
With a once a week online communication and a once a month in-person event you can support a student as they finish high school and navigate the complex college application process. You can learn more by watching this 2 min iMentor pair video: https://vimeo.com/269951210
Most iMentor students will be first-generation college students. iMentor provides a playbook and support staff to ensure every mentor feels confident and effective in supporting their mentee.

Mission Statement
Building mentoring relationships that empower students in under-resourced communities to graduate high school, succeed in college or their desired post-secondary path, and ultimately achieve their ambitions.
Description
iMentor partners with public schools in under-resourced communities to ensure that every student is paired in a one-to-one mentoring relationship with an adult. The goal being that, through this mentoring relationship, each of our students are empowered to graduate from high school, apply to college or their desired post-secondary path, and ultimately succeed in their ambitions. Mentors work with students for four years: for their junior and senior years in high school, and then for two years after high school graduation to ensure they are successfully settled into their post-secondary path.
