Imagine Me Mentoring

What Imagine Me Mentoring does

Imagine Me Mentoring is a nonprofit youth mentoring organization headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia, serving elementary, middle, and high school students through trauma-informed school-based and community-based programs. The organization operates five distinct program tracks: Community One-on-One, Community Group, School Elementary, School Middle, and School High School, each with curricula tailored to the corresponding developmental stage. All mentors are required to receive monthly trauma-informed training delivered by licensed mental health counselors, positioning clinical supervision as a core operating principle rather than an add-on.

The organization's go-to-market relies on referrals, school partnerships, and community events for student recruitment, with no disclosed pricing, revenue model, or funding totals. It operates with a small team of 1-10 employees under CEO Xavier Duckett. There is no disclosed technology platform, mobile application, API, or AI capability; service delivery is entirely human-mediated, with mentor matching, training, and program management handled manually. The geographic footprint is limited to the Roanoke, VA region, and no expansion outside this market is evidenced in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Boys & Girls Clubs of America: National youth development organization offering mentoring, academic support, and SEL programming inside school and community sites. Overlaps with Imagine Me's school-based SEL and life-skills remit, though delivered as part of a much broader program portfolio.
• MENTOR (The National Mentoring Partnership): National umbrella organization advancing youth mentoring standards, resources, and policy. Comparable as a K-12 mentoring organization, but operates as an intermediary/convener rather than a direct service provider like Imagine Me.

Emerging players

• Junior Achievement USA: K-12 organization focused on career exploration, work readiness, and financial literacy via school-based programming. Comparable to Imagine Me's high-school career/life-skills and internship exposure component.
• National CARES Mentoring Movement: National nonprofit providing school-based group mentoring for at-risk youth focused on social-emotional development. Comparable in trauma-informed, group-based school delivery for K-12 students.

Direct peers

• Communities In Schools: Largest provider of school-based mentoring and integrated student supports in the US, with explicit focus on SEL, attendance, and behavior outcomes. Directly comparable K-12 in-school model with outcome-based measurement.
• Big Brothers Big Sisters of America: The largest youth mentoring nonprofit in the US, running both community-based 1:1 and site-based mentoring programs for K-12 youth. Directly comparable in mission, volunteer-driven delivery model, and school/community channel mix.
• Youth Mentoring Connection: Community-based youth mentoring nonprofit serving at-risk youth with 1:1 and group mentoring, school partnerships, and life-skills focus. Closely matches Imagine Me's community-based and school-based 1:1/group delivery model.

Regional players

• Boys & Girls Club of Roanoke Valley: Direct regional peer located in the same Roanoke market, offering youth development programming including mentoring, academic support, and SEL. Comparable in geography and target demographic, though with a broader club-based model.
