IS&T Youth Mentoring

IS&T Mentoring: We Want to Help You Find Your Place in IT

Interested in tech, but not sure where to start? Thanks to funding from Verizon, we're excited to offer a mentorship program where middle and high school students are paired with a current IS&T student who can show you the world in IT.

As part of funding from Verizon, the IS&T Mentorship Program attempts to address the widening gap in iSTEM education by engaging students through thoughtful relationships with role models in IT. The Mentorship Program will increase understanding, confidence, and awareness of IT careers. 

For the 2020/2021 cohort, we're looking for 7th and 8th graders to apply for an IS&T mentor. Apply today!
