America Needs You

America Needs You fights for economic mobility for ambitious, low-income college students. ANY operates in New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.

America Needs You (ANY) fights for economic mobility for ambitious, first-generation college students. We do this by providing transformative mentorship and intensive career development. We are launching our first Partner Program in California in June 2016. We have achieved remarkable growth in the past 5 years by mobilizing hundreds of volunteers to increase the number of students we serve annually from 50 to over 300.

Bacare knows firsthand the impact a mentor can have. As an America Needs You Fellow, he benefited from the support of a Mentor Coach. After experiencing the impact of mentorship himself, he’s now giving back by supporting a Fellow from a similar background.

His story is a reminder that mentorship creates a ripple effect, one that can change lives for years to come.

If you’ve ever considered volunteering, this is your sign. Apply to become a Mentor Coach by July 30 and help a Fellow launch their career.

Our team had a great experience at FirstGen Forward’s 2026 NASPA First-generation Student Success Conference , connecting with educators and student success leaders from across the country who are reimagining what’s possible for first-generation college students.

From asset-based frameworks that celebrate the strengths students already bring to innovative approaches to peer mentorship and community building, we’re excited to be returning with fresh perspectives that will help us continue creating transformative experiences for America Needs You Fellows.

Mentors make moments like this possible.

Every internship, job offer, and career launch starts with someone who helped open the door.

This video celebrates the graduates of America Needs You’s Illinois program as they take the next step toward their futures. Behind many of these success stories is a Mentor Coach who provided guidance, encouragement, and access to opportunity along the way.

The impact goes both ways - 84% of ANY volunteers say the experience has made them better leaders and managers.

Watch the video to see what’s possible, then learn more about becoming a Mentor Coach. Applications are open through July 30: americaneedsyou.org/volunteer

As part of the end-of-year capstone projects, Fellows across America Needs You presented solutions to real-world business challenges developed in partnership with leading companies.

Working in teams, Fellows researched industry issues, developed recommendations, and presented their ideas to professionals on topics ranging from AI-powered digital customer experience insights and the use of AI to drive revenue growth to retirement planning, brand strategy, and small business growth.

Capstone projects also provide Fellows with valuable opportunities to connect with industry leaders, expand their professional networks, and gain exposure to potential career paths.

This is Muskan and her Mentor Coach, Piyush.

After learning about ANY through JPMorgan Chase, Piyush signed up to become a Mentor Coach and spent the last two years supporting of Muskan’s journey through ANY—offering guidance, encouragement, and support as she worked toward her goals.

For Piyush, one of the most rewarding parts of being a Mentor Coach has been “watching our fellows grow in confidence and achieve major milestones.”

Now, after seeing firsthand the impact mentorship can have, he’s signed up for a second term as a Mentor Coach.

We’re grateful to Mentor Coaches like Piyush who invest their time, knowledge, and support in the next generation of leaders.

What an unforgettable night in Chicago ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 America Needs You Illinois Annual Gala. Together, we raised more than $200,000 in support of first-generation college students across Chicago.

The heart of the evening came from the powerful stories shared by our speakers who moved the room with their honesty, courage, and reflection on the impact mentorship has had on their families.

Congratulations to this year’s Match of the Year Award recipients, Fellow Katherine Garcia and Mentor Coach Dona Maynard, for the incredible partnership they’ve built together.

We’re so grateful to our Fellows, families, Mentor Coaches, corporate partners, supporters, and the entire ANY-IL community for making the evening so special. 💙

Over the past two years, these Fellows have built the skills, confidence, networks, and experiences needed to launch successful careers.

From keynote speakers and Mentor Coaches to family, friends, volunteers, and staff, the graduation ceremonies were filled with reflection, pride, and community.

Across all three sites, Fellows are already taking the next step in their journeys, landing opportunities at companies including BNY Mellon, Citi, PwC, Trellus, Accenture, ADP, Vanguard, KPMG, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs.

Congratulations to the 2024 Cohort — we can’t wait to see what’s next. 💙

professional advantages.

For Chris Kelleher, Founder & Managing Director at GTM Talent LLC, mentorship isn’t just about giving back — it’s about growing, too.

Through America Needs You, Chris has helped Fellows take meaningful steps toward their careers, while gaining new perspective on job searching and interviewing through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the first time.

That’s the power of mentorship. It changes lives — on both sides.

We’re looking to onboard 70 new Mentor Coaches by April 30. Use what you know to help someone else get started.
