The Richmond Promise Mentor Program is back for the 2025-2026 school year! This year, RP is recruiting mentors to join the first year of our new career accelerator program, RP Leads.

As an RP Leads mentor, you will play a vital role in this hybrid model, year-round program. You will meet virtually with RP staff each month to discuss key career preparation topics and will connect with your Scholar for the remainder of the month to provide guidance and support. Mentors and mentees will meet in person at their discretion.

What you’ll be doing as a mentor:

Meet virtually with RP

• Meet virtually with RP staff for one hour each month
• Assist your Scholar in crafting or updating career-related materials like their resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile
• Support your Scholar in exploring potential internship opportunities
• Provide academic and personal guidance throughout the year
• Mentors will also have the opportunity to support their mentee through the duration of the RP Leads program (est. three years) if interested

All mentors will be required to complete a background check and training.
