America Needs You
The national nonprofit connecting ambitious, first-generation college students with transformative mentorship and intensive career development.
Over 50% of all college students in the United States are first-generation — the first in their families to navigate college and forge a career path beyond graduation.
America Needs You connects first-generation college students with mentors who help them understand workplaces, grow their networks, build resilience, and launch vibrant careers.
Our Fellows Program pairs first-generation college students with Mentor Coaches in deep, one-to-one mentoring relationships, empowering them to access opportunities and navigate challenges between college and careers. Fellows learn essential career readiness skills in peer cohorts, fostering community and belonging.
"In every room I’ve stepped into, I’ve reminded myself - I belong here."
