Testimonials from America Mentors users.
“Overall, my mentor gave me the confidence to keep striving after my academic goals despite life’s circumstances. I plan on continuing my academic journey, even if it just one class at a time.” - Lone Star College Mentee
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. If they have an email address, they can benefit from all that America Mentors has to offer!” - Seth Swanner PH.D., ASSISTANT LECTURER IN THE LEARN PROGRAM, THE UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING
