Description/achievement of initiative
MENTEE connects historically underrepresented populations with a network of global mentors and a supportive program to give our mentees more power to shape their own lives. Our global mentors volunteer their time and offer virtual synchronous and asynchronous training and guidance in areas like journalism, finance, the arts, educational paths, career coaching, technology, entrepreneurship, and so much more. Each mentor shares their knowledge, teaches skills, and helps to foster personal and professional growth for those 18 and older. MENTEE assures that people and communities receive the help they need to accelerate their success, help each individual feel better about their future, and create a healthier world. We are proud partners of the UNAOC and IOM's PLURAL+ program.
