Become a Corporate Partner

Companies that give back to their communities demonstrate vision and initiative that positively impacts their business. Employee volunteer programs encourage leadership development, improve professional skills and build company morale and loyalty.

• Scalable: From local pilot programs to national program implementations, iCouldBe is an organization you can grow with.
• Flexible: Asynchronous virtual volunteering means mentoring from any U.S. location at any time.
• Impactful: Mentors help mentees develop broad networks of support and open new opportunities for academic and career success.

By partnering with iCouldBe, you offer employees the chance to draw on their professional expertise as they guide high school students through curriculum activities focused on career and academic planning and building networks of support.

The program is fully virtual and asynchronous, which means professionals from across the United States can participate at a time that works for them — expanding the pool of career perspectives available to students in communities where access to professional networks is limited.

Bring iCouldBe to Your School

Since 2000, iCouldBe has connected over 28,000 students across the country with caring and professional mentors, helping to guide youth towards the futures they want.

Like you, our mission is to give our students the tools to plan for a successful future. Having a professional adult available to listen, guide and support them can make all the difference in helping young people find success in school, create academic and career pathways, and build a network of support to reach their goals.

• Low Maintenance: Monitor the virtual program once per week during the iCouldBe designated class period and iCouldBe takes care of recruiting, training and supporting the mentors.
• Easy Implementation and Tracking: A structured evidence-based curriculum is provided and an administrative portal with student engagement data streamlines monitoring student progress and celebrating success.
• Staff Support: iCouldBe provides teacher training and a dedicated program manager for ongoing assistance.
• Built-in Monitoring & Safety Features: The program manager and automated safety features screen conversations, filter PII (Personally Identifiable Information), and flag any concerns for the staff.

iCouldBe works closely with each of our school partners to determine how virtual mentoring can help your students best meet their education and career goals.
