Our Mentorship Programs
Monthly Mentorship Opportunity (for Tutors)
The City Tutors invests in its volunteers' professional growth. Over 100 of our tutors are students from the CUNY system. They come from largely first generation and immigrant backgrounds. While they are academically strong, they are without an existing network that can position them for easy transition into post college life. We offer our student volunteers, and recent graduates the opportunity to connect with various industry professionals for a 4 to 6 month mentorship. Tutors get their professional documents reviewed, and learn more about a particular industry/job title, while they serve the community. Tutors meet with their mentors once a month at a time convenient for both

Short Term Mentorship Opportunity (COVID response)
Given the job insecurity and job loss that New Yorkers are facing in light of the COVID pandemic, we have decided to offer all New Yorkers some of our professional development services (i.e. resume and cover letter revision assistance) and when appropriate and possible, informational sessions with industry professionals. We've already partnered with
City College's Colin Powell School,
Mosholu Montefiore Community Center,
Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, and
Bedford Stuy Restoration Corp
to provide support to the populations they serve. We will work with high schoolers, returning adults, and college students. These community members would meet with their mentor once or twice to talk about their goals and professional documents.
