To reach young people everywhere with our model for college success, we partner with local community-based organizations to implement our mentoring program in their own communities. We have a rich history of collaboration with Big Brothers Big Sisters local agencies, together serving 3,497 mentoring pairs in 17 cities.

Why partner with us?


With more than 20 years of experience in mentoring and college success, iMentor helps local community-based organizations impact college outcomes for first-generation students without having to reinvent the wheel. Together, our partners create a national network with a shared commitment to working in schools serving first generation students.

How does it work?


Upon selection, organizations receive training on the iMentor model and implementation guidance on our curriculum, technology, evaluation and best practices to support mentoring pairs. Our dedicated team provides ongoing training and coaching to each partner. Partners pay a partnership fee and are responsible for the screening, training and support of local volunteers.
