The OLI team creates and maintains a number of resources for iMentor. Here are the resources with our most commonly requested data points. Please reach out to [email protected] if you require access to any of these links.
Demographics
Annual Youth Served
Overview: The annual youth served is a count of all youth within a fiscal year who have received any kind of programming from iMentor. Program participation is defined as any youth who have used our program technology for at least two months. This count includes matched and unmatched youth served in our regional high school programs, our post-secondary program, and through partners.
This definition is purposefully inclusive of young people in our program who - whether matched or not - receive iMentor programming through our Platform, which the billing freeze does not account for.
Timeline: New report produced annually, mid July every year.
Data points:
Number of pairs
Number of unmatched mentees
Number of matched and unmatched students in iMentor College
Lives Touched
Overview: The Lives Touched document is a running document of the total number of mentees matched since iMentor was founded in 1999. “Mentees matched” includes any mentee who was matched for at least 10 days.
Timeline: Updated annually, July at the end of the program year
Data Points:
Note: Due to changes in data systems since 1999, this document is not able to find more specific information like school level or individual level demographic information from before 2006.
