Welcome to EnvironMentors!

EnvironMentors is a national college access program that prepares high school students from under-represented backgrounds for college degree programs in environmental and related science fields.  We match minority high school students with college and university faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and science and environmental professionals, in one-to-one mentoring relationships. Working together, students and mentors develop rigorous environmental science research projects over the course of the academic year.

EnvironMentors is a collaborative effort of colleges and universities, our mentors, aspiring high school students, science teachers, government agencies, community organizations, foundations and businesses who generously support our work.

Initiated in Washington, DC in 1992, EnvironMentors now has active chapters at Alabama State University, Alabama A & M University, Colorado State University, North Carolina State University, and will be adding three new university-based chapters in the 2008-09 academic year.  We invite you to explore our site to learn more about EnvironMentors and how you can be involved.
