Spark a Future: Mentor a NYC High School Student!
About Us:
iMentor is a youth mentoring program working to empower first-generation college students to graduate high school, succeed in college or other post-secondary pathways, and achieve their highest ambitions through one-on-one mentorships. iMentor supports nearly 3,000 NYC students every year through mentorship; join our community of service-oriented professionals mentoring the next generation of leaders.
Mentorship isn't just about helping students with academic success - it's about building meaningful relationships that build futures.
We know you've got a lot on your plate but here is the good news - mentoring with iMentor takes only 3-4 hours a month. The experience is easy: communicate online once a week and meet once a month (during the school year only). This becomes approximately 6-8 in person meet ups during the academic year, our program does not run during the summer months.
ABOUT YOU:
Our mentors are often college-educated volunteers (but it is not a requirement to have a college degree to be a mentor in our program) who commit to working one-on-one with a student for a minimum of two years. It’s a hybrid program, mentors write their mentee 1x per week (remote) and meet 1x per month at mentee’s school (in-person) during the school year.
Interested in learning more?
Your next step in becoming a mentor in our program is to attend an iMentor orientation. During orientation, you will learn more about the program, our students, and the volunteer experience.
We thank you for your interest, and ultimately, your commitment to making a difference in the life of one of our incredible students.
If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to reach out to us at volunteer@imentor.org. We look forward to connecting with you again soon!
Let's do this - together!
