As a young Black boy, it made me proud to see black leaders that did something amazing and made the world change.

Mentor with Us
We believe collaboration is necessary to make meaningful impacts. For this reason, we do group/cohort mentoring. Research shows that group-based mentoring can lead to reduced health-risk behavior and improved academic outcomes, social-emotional wellbeing, mental health, interpersonal relationships, and racial identity.
When our Fellows have you at the table, they have an opportunity to develop themselves in positive ways from a mentor who shares their life experiences in a safe space without judgement. This makes it less likely for them to make similar mistakes.
When you Mentor with us, we expect you to inspire, support, challenge, and protect our Fellows. If you can make this commitment, consider completing a Mentor application today.
