MentorPRO Partners with My Brother’s Keeper to Launch Career-Focused Mentoring Initiative

Boston, MA – September 4, 2025 – MentorPRO, the evidence-based mentoring platform co-founded by mentoring scholar Dr. Jean Rhodes, is proud to announce a new partnership with My Brother’s Keeper to launch a groundbreaking career-focused mentoring initiative. Designed for college juniors and seniors preparing to transition from academics into the professional world, the initiative reflects both organizations’ commitment to equipping young people with the skills, connections, and guidance needed to thrive.

The program begins intentionally small, with a long-term strategy for careful, thoughtful scaling. Its structure emphasizes meaningful mentor-mentee relationships through monthly virtual and in-person interactions. Each mentor is selected not only for their willingness to serve, but for their ability to provide concrete career guidance, connections, and opportunities. With a strong emphasis on resume-building, interview preparation, and leveraging professional networks, the initiative ensures participants gain practical tools and confidence as they enter the workforce.

MentorPRO’s platform will serve as the backbone of the initiative, offering organizations and mentors an evidence-based structure for engagement, progress tracking, and outcomes measurement. Built on decades of mentoring science, the platform’s design was a key factor in My Brother’s Keeper’s decision to partner with MentorPRO. Additional resources and training for mentors will also be available through MentorPRO Academy, further reinforcing the program’s evidence-driven approach.

“Partnering with My Brother’s Keeper represents an exciting opportunity to align our evidence-based platform with a mission-driven organization dedicated to helping young people succeed,” said co-founder Dr. Jean Rhodes. “Together, we are creating pathways that connect students not only with mentors, but with the career opportunities they deserve.”
