NJ-Mentor a First-Generation College Student

America Needs You

Be the Person You Once Needed in College

Over 4.5 million first-generation college students are enrolled in U.S. colleges-but only 21% will graduate within six years. You can help America Needs You (ANY) change this.

We are still accepting Mentor Coach applications for our 2026 cohort that begins in September.

What you'll do as a Mentor Coach:

As a volunteer Mentor Coach, you will work one-on-one with one of our Fellows through their entire two-year journey through our program, attending career development workshops and bringing our best-in-class curriculum to life with your real-world experiences and industry insight. Workshops include trainings by our expert staff, hands-on activities to practice new skills, panels and presentations, leadership opportunities and group discussions.

Program Schedule:

As a Mentor Coach, you will support your Fellow by attending monthly, 3-hour Saturday workshops from 9:30am-12:30pm.

Year 1: In-person Saturday workshops from Sept-April (once a month)

Year 2: A flexible, hybrid model that makes it easier to stay engaged while supporting your Fellow.

Workshop locations for ANY's New Jersey site take place throughout Northern New Jersey. More details are provided by an ANY staff member prior to each workshop.

Mentor Coach Requirements

You can attend one in-person half-day Saturday workshop a month with your Fellow at one of our 3 ANY Sites: Illinois (Chicago), New Jersey (Northern New Jersey), New York (NYC)
You care about advancing racial equity and supporting economic mobility for first-generation college students
You are a college graduate with 1+ years of work experience and are willing to share your industry expertise and network

Benefits of Mentor Coaching

85% of volunteers say they’ve expanded their professional networks through ANY.
84% say volunteering with ANY has made them a better leader or manager.
91% of volunteers say partnering with ANY has provided more personal fulfillment compared to other volunteer opportunities.
