What our partners are saying
I am a peer mentor for the CLA First! Program, so as someone who heavily utilizes and depends on MentorPro, I am able to say that I am a major fan! MentorPRO has allowed me to further connect with my first-year mentees and I’ve been able to assist them in their first couple semesters of college.
I love working with smart, kind people who want to effect positive change, and the MentorPRO team is all those things and more.
I’m deeply grateful to Megyn and Ania for their invaluable support with MentorPRO. Their guidance and dedication have been key to our success, and I truly appreciate having them by my side. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so clearly and inspiringly!
The MentorPRO team’s patience, kindness, and care in developing this platform in our school have made such a difference, and I’ve truly felt like you were right there guiding me through every step. Your passion for this work really shines, and I’ve appreciated it so much. Your hard work has lifted so much weight off my back and set our program up for success—not just here at CHEC, but in building sustainability for mentoring across DC and beyond.
MentorPRO provided a great platform where I was able to engage with my mentees conveniently. Mentoring is a lifelong process and thanks to the self-serve MentorPRO Academy courses my mentees and I were able to get the skills we needed to excel.
The MentorPRO team continues to give us recommendations to better support our mentoring programs. The MentorPRO platform is great, but what makes MentorPRO so unique is the level of service we receive. Megyn and Ani are very responsive to our questions and have helped us explore issues and find solutions. Together the platform and the staff make MentorPRO truly exceptional.
MentorPRO is like a box that we’ve all been wanting to see into so we can see how genuine relationships, mentorships, connections, and social capital are built and maintained in real time. MentorPRO allows us to find success in those areas while working with youth.
MentorPRO has been a Godsend as far as I’m concerned. I feel like the app has completely changed my job as an advocate because it’s just so much easier to communicate and get updates from our staff members. I find it super user friendly. I love the resources that are on there. I love the classes that they can take. I love it!
MentorPRO isn’t just another mentoring software tool. It’s a blueprint for how to do everything right–from best practices in mentoring, networking, matching, training, and supervising, to scientific data collecting and reporting. Every feature is backed by decades of research and evaluation, making it the most scientifically rigorous and effective platform available.
MentorPRO has really increased the engagement of mentors with mentees and also given our team, including our professional staff, a way of more effectively delivering our mentoring program overall. The support has been invaluable. It’s been incredibly helpful to have a team of professionals who can guide us through the platform and also give us ideas and be thought partners. Genuinely it’s been a huge asset to the program and has been really well received by mentors, mentees, and our professional staff!
We are so glad that we selected MentorPRO for our new workforce development program. The MentorPRO team has gone above and beyond in helping us develop our Career Opportunities Initiative, including helping to create career training courses and surveys and making timely technical adjustments. We are thrilled with this partnership.
Engagement is through the roof compared to what we looked like last year. We are forever grateful because it has really helped change our connection and how we talk about mentorship and where we are. We now have this massive group of students that we’re able to connect with and MentorPRO has become the linchpin of those connections.
The Career Opportunities Initiative is a masterpiece. We could not have done this career development mentoring practice without MentorPRO.
We appreciate the outstanding seminal mentoring work of Dr. Jean Rhodes for over three decades and still going strong. We are truly impressed by MentorPRO as a holistic mentoring platform and the rigour invested in its development and ongoing work. It will be vital in supporting our mentoring mission.
I think probably this is the most helpful program our school has ever come out with.
MentorPRO has revolutionized the peer-to-peer mentorship space, allowing for sustained connections through an easy-to-use platform and filling a hole that has been ever-growing in the world of higher education. It’s a great resource for our students!

“In this superb book, Rhodes has demonstrated why she is regarded as the foremost authority on youth mentoring in the U.S. and internationally. Her singularly broad and deep knowledge of the science, and her unparalleled understanding of the program and policy implications of mentoring research, are crystallized magnificently in this important and timely book. This book will quickly be seen as a classic.”
