Tuesday night, iMentor Baltimore will mark the inaugural programmatic year of its partnership with Baltimore City Public School System supporting first-generation college students on their road to academic and career success. In November, iMentor matched more than 100 students at Baltimore Design School and the Academy for College and Career Exploration with individual adult mentors who will guide them for at least three years through high school graduation and beyond. Leadership from iMentor and City Schools will mark the launch on Tuesday with brief remarks; a panel discussion and Q&A with Baltimore mentors and students; and a reception for supporters, community members, iMentor Regional Advisory Board members, mentors and students. To attend, please contact Loucia Hamilton.
