From Phil

Hi everyone,

 

As some of you may know, I am involved with a mentoring program called iMentor. 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.

 

My mentee this year is Andre and he is a junior in high school and lives in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Andre plans to attend Binghamton University and pursue a degree in Accounting. He also has a passion for music (his favorite artist is Kanye West) and likes to sing. Over the course of this year I've been able to be a positive influence for Andre and, in the process, learn a lot about myself.

 

In order to provide mentors to more than 800 underserved youth annually, iMentor relies on the generous support of private foundations, corporations, and individuals. I am reaching out to my family and friends to help raise money to support the many programs offered by iMentor and raise awareness of the program and hopefully inspire others to volunteer. I know that times may be a little hard with money these days but if you can make a donation that would be great. My fundraising goal is $550.

 

Thanks so much in advance!

Phil

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.
