PLATFORM DATA MentorPRO platform data, March 11 to September 20, 2026.

We needed software to help us communicate between our mentors and mentees. We knew it wasn't going to be possible to see the mentees and mentors daily, so this app has made it all possible. When I bring the mentees on board, I let them know about the MentorPRO Academy, which is a bonus I didn't know we were getting. I like that I can see all the engagement. We love the Tasks tab. It's great for sending the mentees links about their situations. The mentors send the links and ask them a variety of questions. I love watching the mentees and mentors build a relationship. The mentors contact the parents for some face-to-face fun time with their mentees. MentorPRO is a safe space for the mentees to feel free to express what is going on with them. I believe it helps them to know someone is here to listen. MentorPRO is literally bridging the gap.
