Description
Hey Mentor is a college mentorship non-profit organization based in Seattle, WA. We are a community of college students, graduates, and more importantly, motivated individuals with an innovative approach to supporting students with limited access to college and career guidance. We strive to reduce the opportunity and achievement gaps impacting low-income students by increasing accessibility of college services. By providing an online platform for mentors and students to connect directly on Facebook, we created a more accessible way for students to access resources at ease.
