"I am not defined by my immigration status. I am a human being with dreams and goals."
Immigrants Rising’s Mentorship Service pairs undocumented students with undocumented peers and professionals to provide the support, inspiration, and motivation they need to fulfill their goals.
Mentorship Services is a component of Immigrants Rising’s Catalyst Fund services offered to undocumented students attending or interested in attending one of the Catalyst Fund Campuses. Through our mentorship services, undocumented students will have access to 1-1 mentoring from currently or formerly undocumented individuals from February to May 2022.
Mentees will be matched with a (1) volunteer working professional whose educational or professional interests align with theirs. Mentor/mentee teams can decide together on a plan for meeting virtually (e.g, Zoom, text, phone calls) as well as days and times that work best.
