    Be a Mentor (icouldbe.org)

    icouldbe.org has devised an award-winning solution to the dilemma by developing a web-based resource through which skilled professionals mentor, and career planning tools point, America's underserved teens toward the futures they want. For instance, if a high school sophomore is interested in art, he/she can speak directly with graphic designers, high school art teachers, architects, painters, industrial artists, web site designers and other professional artists about their work. Also, that sophomore utilizes various online tools to chart and develop his/her career ambitions.

    Hundreds of youths (who we call "mentees") - from inner-city high schools to Native American reservations to residential homes for teens in trouble with the law - have used and/or are using the website. Our mentees are disadvantaged and from low-income families, go to schools that lack sufficient capitol and human resources, are at-risk of dropping out of school and/or have dropped out and are trying to find their way in life. Despite these conditions, we've experienced great success!

    Be a mentor and see the difference you can make!
