EnvironMentors is a national, environment-based college access program which prepares high school students for college degree programs and careers in environmental and related scientific fields. We mentor and motivate student participants as they conduct scientific research and acquire skills that will allow them to build careers and become more active stewards of their communities and the environment. EnvironMentors envisions a society in which young adult leaders from all backgrounds are empowered to protect the environment through their chosen profession.
