America Mentors has been essential to our mentorship initiative’s success. The support staff at America Mentors have been responsive and knowledgeable in helping to customize the program to suit the needs of our students. The program allows users to track student and mentor participation in compelling ways, including custom mentorship Milestones that students enjoy completing. Perhaps best of all, America Mentors does not require students to learn yet another digital platform.
