CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Achieving higher graduation rates for first-generation students through mentoring

America Mentors

The Mission

Only 11% of first-generation, low-income students graduate college within six years of enrolling*. America Mentors’ mission is to increase the graduation rates for first-generation, low-income college students through mentoring.

How It Works

America Mentors is free to colleges, universities and community organizations to mentor first-generation, low-income college students. The America Mentors program uses a proven curriculum that enables guided interactions between mentor pairs, fostering strong relationships through timely and relevant conversations. Mentoring increases engagement and helps these students persist to graduation.

Our Part
