iMentor matches every student in our high schools with a committed college-educated mentor, equipped to guide that young person on their journey to college graduation. Our model harnesses the power of long-term, personal relationships to help students succeed. We partner with high schools in low-income communities, where a majority of students served will be first-generation college graduates. Each year, we recruit thousands of volunteers who commit to mentor a high school student for at least three years.

With Sarah�s guidance, Elianny has overcome many challenges � including homelessness at one point � to graduate at the top of her class and matriculate at Stony Brook University
