Ambassador are also subject to receiving a certain amount of service hours for each new mentee they bring in. Sign up today and impact the lives of your peers.

Mentors currently involved in Mentoring America will have the chance to encourage other qualified college students to sign up and become a Mentor. Mentors are subject to receiving service hours or “points” for each potential new mentor they bring in. In addition, mentor ambassadors will be provided with the proper materials to promote our organization in their college campus or virtually via email and social media platforms.

Even if you are not a current high school or college student, there are still ways to get involved in Mentoring America and help our cause. Educational Professionals or people who interact with students or a weekly/daily basis will also have the chance to become an ambassador. Ambassadors will be in contact with our team and given the appropriate materials to encourage community involvement and even recruit mentees and mentors.
Another way to promote our organization is to reach out to small businesses who may be interested in becoming a donor, as we are a 501 (c) 3 registered nonprofit organization.
