New Ambitions' President Becomes An NYU FOCUS Mentor

​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!
