iMentor Because

In this video, some of our volunteers talk about why they signed up to mentor youth in low-income communities and how rewarding it’s been to watch their mentees progress on their paths to college. These volunteers are motivated to mentor by many reasons -- because they had a mentor, because they wish they'd had more guidance as a young person, or because they want to feel connected to their community. You can join them by signing up to become a mentor today.

This Fall, iMentor will expand its programs to reach more young people throughout New York City. Share this video to help us recruit more mentors for the hundreds of students we’re enrolling by September 1.
