MentorPRO Announces Partnership with Salem State University to Empower Student Success

Boston, MA – August 21, 2025 – MentorPRO, the leading evidence-based digital mentoring platform, is delighted to announce a new partnership with Salem State University, a Massachusetts public university committed to nurturing the educational success and holistic development of young people. This collaboration signals our shared mission: to equip students with the mentoring support and developmental relationships essential for academic achievement and preparation for meaningful lives.

Salem State’s longstanding dedication to fostering student opportunity and well-being made it a natural partner for us. Their vibrant community and strategic focus on student support, advising, and inclusive educational pathways demonstrates a remarkable commitment to young lives—a commitment that resonates directly with MentorPRO’s core values and evidence-based approach.

At the heart of MentorPRO is a foundation built on rigorous, peer-reviewed research, translated into digital mentoring tools designed for measurable, real-world outcomes. Every feature, from intelligent matching and goal-setting to secure communication, check-in tracking, and curated analytics, stems from decades of mentoring science and the best practices validated by research. Co-founder Dr. Jean Rhodes draws on over three decades of pioneering youth mentoring research to ensure our platform reflects the core elements of effective mentoring.

To further amplify positive outcomes, MentorPRO integrates MentorPRO Academy—our embedded learning management system—for delivering evidence-based mentor and mentee training. Through the Academy, Salem State mentors will have access to structured, research-informed instruction and certifications rooted in best practices, ethics, communication strategies, and developmental mentoring techniques that directly strengthen their capacity to support students.

“The opportunity to partner with Salem State reflects a shared belief in the transformative power of mentoring informed by science and compassion,” said Dr. Jean Rhodes. “Together, with the support of MentorPRO Academy and our evidence-based tools, we are committed to equipping students with the relationships and resources that foster resilience, belonging, and long-term success.”

This partnership stands as a testament to Salem State’s investment in young lives, and MentorPRO’s dedication to translating research-based mentoring into scalable, impactful systems that strengthen student pathways. We are proud to support Salem State’s students and faculty collaborators as they embark on this journey to deepen mentoring, advance engagement, and unlock potential.
