iMentor is a national mentoring organization headquartered in New York that opened an office in Baltimore in 2019. However, due to COVID, the organization did not partner with schools until the 2021-22 school year. The organization’s goal is to increase college graduation rates for first-generation students from low-income neighborhoods in Baltimore by pairing the students with mentors. According to their website, “iMentor supports students by providing personalized guidance through mentorship as well as resources to help students graduate high school, succeed in college, and embark on meaningful careers.”
University of Baltimore students have been placed in a variety of agencies and positions as part of an effort to train more students for public service jobs.
