Mentors Needed for Struggling Youth

Sign up with Be A Mentor to be an Online Academic Mentor to a struggling youth.

We need your special skills and perspective to show a young person what opportunities they have and give them the confidence to work towards big goals.

An Academic Mentor is a trusted caring adult that spends at least one hour per week with their mentee using Be A Mentor’s Virtual Mentoring Platform.

Meetings focus on goal setting, homework help, and career exploration. While there may be a focus on homework help, these sessions are more than just tutoring. You form a personal relationship with your mentee to build resilience, social engagement, and a support network.

Virtual mentoring removes barriers of distance, requires no commute time, and can offer a flexible schedule. However, mentors must be in the United States. Due to our current background check system we are unable to accept anyone outside of the US at this time.

Academic Mentoring is life changing for youth.

As a mentor, you provide:

• One-on-one attention
• Study skills
• Academic support
• Goal setting
• Encouragement for success
