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​
