UStrive.org democratizes access to social capital so that all individuals can achieve their college and career dreams. We do this by connecting mentees to mentors through our virtual mentoring platform and through our Iโ€™m First! Guidebook to College. UStrive supports each student on the path to a self-sustaining career that is best for them, whether that is a two-year or four-year college, trade school, or other job skills training. We are achieving real change with a diverse population of students: 85% of UStrive students are young people of color. 80% are from households making less than $50,000 in annual income. Any student with financial need can sign up for a UStrive mentor for free: http://bit.ly/StudentRegistrationLI. Interested in bringing UStrive to your company as an employee engagement initiative? Or do you work at an institution of higher education that is interested in partnering through our Iโ€™m First! campaign? Please message us!
