What is eMentoring?
Our eMentoring program with Chronus is a 1-to-1 developmental mentoring program facilitated by BBBS designed to provide local students with:
  • Goal setting for academic, college & career plans
  • Career awareness
  • Increased confidence and life skills
  • Support creating a post-high school plan
  • Benefits of a 1-to-1 mentoring relationship
Busy adults who want to volunteer can do so easily with an investment of 45 minutes a week!

Closing the opportunity gap
Every nine seconds a student drops out of school nationwide; right now 67% of JCPS students are college and career ready, and Louisville ranks 21st out of the 50 largest metropolitan areas with a 14.2% rate of opportunity youth. eMentoring programs help close the opportunity gap! At-risk students need caring adults to encourage them to stay in school; all students deserve a caring adult mentor.

Mentoring Works!
Research shows that youth matched with mentors:
  • Receive support in setting goals for a career path
  • Learn basic pre-employment skills
  • Improve academic performance
  • Have increased motivation to stay in school
  • Are more likely to feel they would attend and graduate from college
  • Develop a vision for their future​
