Bloomberg LP has partnered with iMentor since 2009, and since then has enlisted over 240 employees as volunteer mentors for high schoolers. Several employees also serve in leadership positions on iMentor’s advisory board and act as ambassadors dedicated to sharing their experiences to encourage others to volunteer as well.
Bloomberg LP is a leading sponsor of iMentor’s Mentor Education program, which launched in 2020; the program provides anti-racism training so that the mentor community is equipped to support mentees with sensitivity and a social justice lens.
“Mentoring is a powerful way to make a difference in a young person’s life by building valuable relationships and opening doors,” said Nancy Cutler, Bloomberg’s Head of Corporate Philanthropy for the US, Canada and Latin America. “Since 2009, Bloomberg and iMentor have shared a common goal of strengthening communities and expanding opportunities for success through service. Bloomberg has been proud to host career workshops and serve as founding partner for iMentor’s national mentor training to combat racism in addition to our employees providing nearly 10,000 mentor hours to support the next generation of great leaders.”
