iMentor

📲 Here's a real example of what supportive mentoring can look like in practice. Students don't always reply right away, especially during stressful weeks at school. What matters most is the steady presence and the calm, judgment-free check-ins that help them feel seen and supported. Use this as a model for your next outreach to your mentee: ✔ low pressure ✔ validating ✔ encouraging ✔ focused on listening, not fixing Small messages can make a big difference. These are the messages that matter. #MentorshipTips #MentorDevelopment #MessagesThatMatter #StudentSupport #iMentor

⭐ Last night, we joined Jessica McCormack at their new Madison Avenue boutique to celebrate a partnership rooted in generosity and connection.

💙 Every student needs someone who sees their potential before they see it themselves. For Nazrun, that person was his mentor, Khwaja. When first-generation college student Nazrun met his mentor Khwaja through iMentor NYC, he found someone who helped him build confidence, community, and connection. Even though Khwaja is a busy CEO of his company, Nazrun can still count on him to pick up his phone calls. “He will make time for me. He’s showing me that I could really trust him,” Nazrun says. 🔗 Become a mentor and change a life today: https://lnkd.in/dgqmpsj #MentorshipMatters #iMentor #FirstGenStudents #CareerGrowth #NYC

This is what happens when community, endurance, and mentorship intersect. When mentor Bryan Baratian laces up for the TCS New York City Marathon, he’s running for opportunity. For the students who dream bigger because someone believed in them. For the mentors who show up week after week to guide the next generation. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Citizens chose to honor Bryan and iMentor, represented by our very own Parice Megan Grant, with the Citizens Miles That Matter award this year. The recognition comes with a grant from the Citizens Philanthropic Foundation, which strives to improve the lives of our fellow citizens through building partnerships with public, private, and community interests to develop neighborhoods and stimulate economic renewal. As Rebecca O'Connell, New York Metro Market President at Citizens, shared: “Bryan’s story and iMentor’s mission embody the resiliency that defines New Yorkers and captures why the race is so special to the city.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eY2regu6 #CitizensMilesThatMatter #iMentor #MentorshipMatters #CommunityImpact #NYCMarathon
