StudentMentor Matches Mentors and Proteges Online

When StudentMentor.org http://www.studentmentor.org co-founders Ashkon Jafari and Stephanie Bravo were in college, they felt lost. Bravo, a first-generation college student, had her sights set on medical school, but wasn’t sure what classes and extracurriculars she needed to get there. Jafari had switched his major twice, and didn’t know what career path to take.

Both were saved by the guidance of mentors–in Bravo’s case, a med student she was paired with through a local program, and in Jafari’s, a higher-up at his internship. "We looked around and saw a lot of our classmates and friends didn’t have this guidance," Jafari says. "There was no sort of program. We saw this huge need."
