From Kevin

For the past few months I've been involved with an organization called iMentor that allows me to interact with lower-income NYC high school students and help them prepare for their college careers.

My mentee's name is Ariel and I really enjoy spending time reading his thoughts and experiences through emails that we exchange every week. He is a highly motivated individual that is very proactive in planning the next steps of his life. I believe he has very good balance at this point in his life, as he studies hard, yet still finds time to be on the track team and also enjoy his youth with his friends.

I joined iMentor because I felt that not enough high school students these days have enough direction when they start college, which is arguably the most important stage of a young person's life. Parents are far too removed from school to provide current advice when it comes to school and I felt that it would be mutually beneficial for me to help guide the direction of a high school student's college planning.

Fundraising is an integral part of keeping programs like iMentor running and I'm trying to raise $300 to support this fantastic program. Any support would be much appreciated!

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.
