Mentor Ambassadors (MAs) are mentors who commit to advancing iMentor Chicago’s mission, above and beyond their 1:1 support for a student. We select mentors who are a consistent and reliable presence in their mentee’s life, have attended iMentor communitywide events, and who actively share their voice across the iMentor community. MAs have a strong understanding of how and why their work with iMentor matters and possess a sincere desire to see iMentor expand its growth and reach in Chicago. They serve as iMentor representatives at events, give voice to the mentor experience in the program, and participate in exclusive networking and leadership opportunities.
Mentor Ambassadors must be current mentors who meet online and in-person program requirements. Applications are accepted every Spring and MAs serve a one year term. Email [email protected] with questions about the MA program.
What current Mentor Ambassadors say:
“I’ve formed amazing friendships. Being surrounded by like minded, genuinely GOOD people, is so refreshing.”
“United by the desire to be a student's champion, the collaboration and passion amongst this diverse group of incredible people inspires me daily.”
