MentorPRO Partners with The Valedictorian Project to Expand Evidence-Based Mentor Training
Boston, MA — August 14, 2025 — MentorPRO, a leading evidence-based mentoring platform, is proud to announce a new collaboration with The Valedictorian Project (TVP), a nonprofit organization committed to advancing the success of high-achieving urban students across the country. Through this partnership, The Valedictorian Project will integrate MentorPRO Academy into its mentor training strategy, providing its cohort with professional development rooted in cutting-edge research and real-world application.
The Valedictorian Project has long been recognized for its deep commitment to empowering young people through near-peer mentorship and educational guidance. By selecting MentorPRO as a training partner, TVP underscores its dedication to equipping mentors with the best tools available to guide youth through college access, retention, and long-term success.
TVP mentors will now access two foundational courses through Academy.MentorPRO.com: Managing Ethical Challenges in Mentoring and Building Strong Mentoring Relationships. These courses prepare mentors to navigate complex ethical scenarios while also learning how to build authentic, lasting relationships that promote trust and open communication. The material draws directly from co-founder Dr. Jean Rhodes’s decades of research and MentorPRO’s commitment to rigorous program design, ensuring that each mentor is fully equipped to support students’ academic and personal development.
MentorPRO’s platform has been adopted by a growing number of institutions seeking to translate science into scalable, relational support. With its intuitive dashboards, automated check-ins, and integrated training modules, the platform ensures that every mentoring relationship is both personalized and informed by best practices. For The Valedictorian Project, MentorPRO offers the structure and expertise needed to ensure mentors are prepared to make a lasting difference in young people’s lives.
