One email a week, one event a month, one more kid excited about college and their future.
If you've graduated college, you have what it takes to be a great mentor to a high school student in the Bay Area. We are looking for 140 new mentors to be matched one-on-one with a local high school student at our Oakland partner school. Our mentoring program provides strong relationships between high school students and their college educated mentors, who walk them through the college selection and application process with the help of our curriculum and program. With only one weekly online communication, and one monthly event (virtual for now) you can help a student get to and through college. Graduating high school and transitioning into a post-secondary path has been particularly challenging for the students we support, due to the impacts of Covid-19. You could make an incredible difference in a young person's life during this very difficult time.
Attend our required virtual mentor orientation to learn more and to get all of the training you need to be a champion.

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.
