Event Recap: iMentor presents "To Be Young, Gifted & Black"

EVENT RECAP - iMentor presents "To Be Young, Gifted & Black" - Harlem Lanes, NYC - July 15th

The FAB Network was a proud sponsor of iMentor's "To Be Young, Gifted & Black" event hosted at Harlem Lanes. The event mission was to attract professionals that are willing and eager to volunteer their time to become an iMentor. NYC organizations including FAB, United Negro College Fund (UNCF), and JI Group promoted the event through our networks. Professionals from each organization gave a short & sweet speech on their organizations' mission, the importance of mentoring and the invaluable role iMentor plays in the lives of students all across NYC.

iMentor understands how important it is for young students to graduate high school, go off to college and lastly graduate to become a college graduate with boundless opportunities!

iMentor is doing their part . . . are YOU?
