Mission Statement
The EnvironMentors Project is a multicultural one-to-one mentor programs that helps high school students form and reach their educational and career goals. Volunteer mentors, when matched with a high school student, commit to a mutually chosen eight-month project in which an environmental issue is researched and tested in a scientific way. The results of their research and fieldwork are organized into a classroom lesson to be taught by the high school student.

The Project concludes with an EnvironMentors Fair.

The mentors help students design, create, carry out and evaluate research and community service projects. Mentoring helps students develop skills such as independence, leadership, motivation and cooperation.  EnvironMentors supports these partnerships with field trips and a year-end symposium.  95% of the students complete their projects.  In Mercer County, Environmentors works with students from Trenton Central HS and Princeton Regional HS.   Plans are underway to add Ewing High School in 1999-2000.

Each student also fashions his/her project into a class lesson which is made to a middle school class.   See an example.

About 50 students from these schools will take part in 1998-99. 

The former PMI Outreach Director, David Reibstein, served on the New Jersey Steering Committee.
