Staff Support
Every mentoring pair is assigned a full-time "College Success Program Manager," based at the partner school, who teaches the weekly iMentor class, and ensures that mentors and students connect weekly online and meet in-person monthly. iMentor matches pairs based on mentor and student profiles, and we provide expert advice on how to build a strong mentoring relationship. Our staff also provides curriculum assistance and project management support for the college process.
Curriculum
Our program guides each mentoring pair toward a strong relationship, built on trust and honesty. The online curriculum, paired with in-person interactions between mentors and students, helps everyone work consistently toward the goals of college admission, enrollment, and ultimately graduation. Each lesson focuses on helping students develop the non-cognitive skills necessary to navigate personal and academic challenges.
Technology Platform
iMentor uses technology tools to enhance personal relationships. Our online mentoring platform allows mentors and students to connect securely using web applications that guide them through the college success curriculum and help them stay in touch. We also provide access to our Learning Center, where mentors find helpful articles, resources, and guidance.
Mentor Community
Our program staff hold a "mentor huddle" each month, immediately following pair events. These informal conversations give mentors a space to reflect on shared challenges and small wins with their mentees. In addition, mentors will have opportunities to connect with other mentors regularly through happy hours, panel events, Monthly Learning Moments, and much more.
