CareerVillage

careervillage.org

CareerVillage.org is an education technology non-profit organization that helps high school students get college and career advice. They do that by recruiting mentors to give advice online using their Q&A mentoring platform. By making it easy for mentors to give advice from their computer or mobile phone, they're making mentorship scalable. CareerVillage focuses on low-income communities, where the need is greatest, and is already in use at schools and after-school programs like KIPP, Achievement First, and NFTE. CareerVillage is a growing organization with grassroots support, and recently won challenge grants paid for by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and JPMorgan Chase.
