 Mentorship is an important pillar within our programming at New Ambitions. Each College Ambition Advisor is equipped with strategies to cultivate relationships with our NYC scholars. It is an element within our programming that we take pride in and encourage throughout the academic year. It's no surprise that Founder and President of New Ambitions, Rachel Johnson, has joined the NYU FOCUS Mentorship program to provide guidance and support to incoming Freshmen pursuing their college ambitions. We are confident that the mentorship will be beneficial for both the mentor and mentee. Congratulations! FOCUS is a structured mentorship program designed to offer first-year undergraduate students who identify as first generation college students and/or students of color (African American/Black, Arab American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Latino/Hispanic American, Native American/American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Biracial/Multiracial) the opportunity to develop relationships with NYU Alumni, Faculty, Staff, Graduate Students or other professionals who can serve as resources and/or advocates through establishing an ongoing mentoring relationship. The program assists students in creating a foundation on NYU’s campus through; opportunities for leadership development, connecting students to The Center and other NYU resources, creating unity among all participants and ultimately support the educational and personal success of FOCUS Mentees.
