IGNITE Peer Mentoring

“I loved this year. I felt like I wasn't invisible anymore.”

IGNITE Peer Mentoring supports students in schools around the world to provide one-on-one mentorship and personal support to their younger peers. Though our team no longer offers on-the-ground support in schools, the IGNITE curriculum is open-source and available to any and all school teachers, counselors, administrators, and students to use in implementation.

Founded in 2009 in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, IGNITE pursues a dual mission of empowering high school upperclassmen as leaders in their community, and providing caring, uplifting personal support to first-years. IGNITE's curriculum has been utilized to launch mentoring programs in schools of all types around the world over the past decade.

If you are a high school student, faculty member, or administrator, consider taking the lead on implementing a peer mentoring program at your school today. Below you will find our core IGNITE resources, which are open-source: our implementation booklet and mentor training manual:
