From Adam

As many of you know, I joined the iMentor program last fall. iMentor is an organization focused on helping underserved youth in New York City. The iMentor model is based on weekly email correspondence, supplemented with special events throughout the school year such as museum tours, college and career preparation workshops, and sporting events. I believe the program is an effective way for young professionals to build real relationships with high school students and impact underserved communities.

 

My mentee, Xiao Bin Chen, attends the Brooklyn International High School in Brooklyn Heights. He is 16 years old and immigrated to the U.S. from China several years ago. Because he primarily speaks Chinese with family and friends, I am one of the few people he is able to speak English with one-on-one. Xiao Bin is a bright young man and a good student, who hopes to attend college.

 

To support iMentor, I am raising money to cover the iMentor curriculum, events and programs. No donation is too small, and (of course) no donation is too large.

 

I would be grateful if you could help iMentor positively impact Xiao Bin and many other New York City kids.

Thank you for your time and your kind assistance.

About iMentor

5,000 matches since 1999 in NYC / 800 matches this year

and we are just getting started.......

iMentor's mission is to improve the lives of young people from underserved communities in  New York City through innovative, technology-based approaches to youth mentoring and education. iMentor creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships between high school-aged youth (mentees) and caring adult mentors. Every mentor-mentee pair cultivates their relationship using iMentor's pioneering combination of weekly email correspondence and regular in person meetings.

Capitalizing on email and emerging technologies, iMentor adds structure and flexibility to its mentoring relationships. iMentor's mentoring model proves that:

  • Even the busiest most successful New Yorkers have time to be quality mentors - 84% of our mentors have never served as a mentor before iMentor
  • Formal mentoring programs can reach and flourish in NYC's most isolated, low-income, and underserved communities - 98% of our mentees have never had a mentor before iMentor

iMentor is reinventing possibilities for youth mentoring, activating a new class of volunteer mentor, and cultivating relationships that change lives.
