iMentor Chicago is on a mission to help students in under-resourced communities navigate the path to post-secondary success and economic mobility. We do this by matching an adult volunteer mentor with every student in our CPS partner schools, no matter their GPA or test scores.

Mentors work with students for 2-4 years to help them transition out of high school and on to college, career, military service, or certification and training programs. Mentor/mentee pairs are supported by iMentor's full-time college counselors, who are embedded in our partner schools and implement our proven college success curriculum in weekly classes that are part of the school day.

The results? iMentor students are 74% more likely to complete college than their peers from similar high schools, and more than 90% of mentors return to the program each year.
