High-quality mentors
There is an enormous need for high-quality, responsible and professional mentors for youth in our contemporary society. Kids of all ages need exemplary, dynamic role models to interact with and look up to in order to reach their full potentials.
So, how do we pair high-quality and high-achieving mentors with grade, middle, and high school (even college) level students? Simple: we leverage our social networks to engage graduates from California’s top universities - UC Davis, UC Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA, UC San Diego, USC, etc. - and beyond through Academic Impact to give these distinguished graduates opportunities to give back, connect with kids, and provide regular tutorial services to students of all ages and abilities.
We are building something unique, bringing energetic and bright graduates from top universities into students’ homes to inspire and support these local students to achieve their dreams, academically and beyond. Academic Impact is academically rigorous mentorship in action - we are developing tomorrow’s leaders.
