MentorPRO Partners with City Year New Hampshire to Enhance Student Success through Evidence-Based Mentoring
Boston, MA – July 23, 2025 – MentorPRO, a leading provider of evidence-based mentoring solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with City Year New Hampshire. This collaboration aims to bolster educational outcomes for students in under-resourced schools across Manchester by integrating MentorPRO’s innovative platform with City Year’s proven mentoring programs.
City Year New Hampshire has been instrumental in addressing educational disparities, particularly in schools where students face significant challenges. In these partner schools, students exhibit proficiency levels in reading and math that are 40% and 50% lower, respectively, compared to the district average. City Year’s AmeriCorps members work alongside teachers to create inclusive learning environments, fostering a sense of belonging and supporting students in realizing their full potential.
Dr. Jean Rhodes, co-founder of MentorPRO and Director of the UMass Boston Center for Evidence-Based Mentoring, brings over three decades of research in youth mentoring to the platform. Her extensive expertise has been pivotal in developing MentorPRO’s tools and training programs, which are grounded in rigorous, peer-reviewed research. This evidence base ensures that mentoring practices are not only effective but also adaptable to the diverse needs of students.
The MentorPRO platform offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to facilitate meaningful mentor-mentee relationships. Through the MentorPRO Academy, mentors and mentees have access to a range of training modules covering topics such as motivational interviewing, supportive accountability, and stress management. These resources are complemented by a user-friendly interface that supports seamless communication and engagement.
This partnership underscores a shared commitment to empowering young people and fostering educational success. By combining City Year’s on-the-ground experience with MentorPRO’s research-driven platform, the collaboration aims to create a lasting impact on the academic journeys of students in New Hampshire.
