OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS
As a member of the community, you can make a difference for students and employers across Indiana and beyond. By becoming a mentor or getting involved in college and career initiatives in your community, you directly influence students right here in Indiana—with results that you can see.
BECOME A MENTOR
College mentors can make a vast difference in the life of a college-bound high school student. A mentor can help a student figure out what their dream is, and could be the person a student looks back on as the most important in helping them achieve their education. The power of mentoring lies in providing young people a consistent and caring guide who will help them achieve their dreams.
With a mentor, kids are more likely to graduate from high school. Big Brothers Big Sisters of America reports students who regularly meet with mentors are 52% less likely to skip school. By becoming involved in students’ lives, you help them develop positive attitudes toward school, resulting in a rise in the college-educated workforce. In fact, the Starfish Initiative program in Indianapolis saw 80% of their first class of graduates enroll in college.
MENTOR PROGRAM LISTS
The following organizations offer mentorship opportunities throughout Indiana:
Communities in Schools of Lake county
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana
Starfish Initiative

Indiana’s teachers and educators are some of the most important figures in a students’ life. The influence of our education partners is invaluable as they help communicate critical information to help students and families navigate education and training options after high school.
