iMentor
is seeking college-educated Chicagoans to mentor students from public high
schools in Chicago's low-income communities. The guidance of a mentor can
empower a young person to graduate high school, succeed in college, and achieve
their ambitions.
Using
iMentor’s dedicated curriculum and staff support, mentors and students work
together, in-person and online, to develop strong personal relationships,
nurture a college aspiration, navigate the college application process, and
build critical skills that lead to college success.
Mentors
devote 4-6 hours per month to mentoring, sending one weekly
email and attending one in-person meeting each month. Through these activities,
mentors will develop a supportive mentoring relationship that will last for 3 years
and guide a mentee through iMentor’s college-readiness curriculum and the
college application process.
