Sign up with Be A Mentor to be a Virtual Mentor to a struggling youth!
We need your special skills and perspective to show a young person what opportunities they have and give them the confidence to work towards big goals.
A Mentor is a trusted caring adult that spends at least one hour per week with their mentee using Be A Mentor’s Virtual Mentoring Platform.
Mentors focus on goal setting, homework help, and career exploration. While there may be a focus on homework help in the meetings, these sessions are more than just tutoring. Mentees form a personal relationship with their mentor to build resilience, social engagement, and a support network.
Virtual mentoring removes barriers of distance, requires no commute time, and can offer a flexible schedule. However, mentors must be in the United States, over the age of 21, and be able to commit to a minimum of one hour a week for a full year.
Due to our current background check system we are unable to accept anyone outside of the US at this time.
Academic Mentoring is life changing for youth.
