Safety & Quality

How Superpower Mentors keeps mentorship safe and high-quality through matching, training, oversight, and clear family expectations.

Superpower Mentors keeps mentorship safe and high-quality through matching, training, oversight, and clear family expectations. Every mentor completes a multi-step vetting process before working with a student.

Step 1: Third-party background checks (local, state, federal levels)

The first step in our vetting process is a comprehensive third-party background check at the local, state, and federal levels.

Step 2: Mandatory certification course for mentors (Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism)

The second step in our vetting process at Superpower Mentors involves a mandatory certification course, carefully designed to equip mentors with the necessary skills and knowledge to support students with Dyslexia and ADHD. This is an intensive, structured program that is both comprehensive and in-depth. The course was designed in partnership with professionals in the education and social work spaces.

Step 3: Monthly meetings with team leaders

The third step in our vetting process involves regular monthly meetings between our mentors and team leaders/Program Success Managers. These meetings serve multiple crucial purposes.

Step 4: Meetings between the family and prospective mentors

The fourth step in our vetting process involves facilitating 'Meet Your Mentor' sessions. We understand the significance of a strong relationship between the mentor and the student, and these sessions aim to establish that connection right from the start.

Step 5: Regular monthly progress check meetings with parents

The fifth step in our vetting process is what we call 'Family Matters Meetings'. These are regular meetings where mentors share updates on the student's progress with the parents. We believe that a child's success is a collaborative effort, and these meetings foster strong communication and collaboration between the mentor and the family.

Step 6: Dedicated and personalized support

The final step in our vetting process is a close collaboration with parents facilitated by our dedicated Program Success Manager. The Program Success Manager is a dedicated professional who works closely with parents throughout the mentorship process. Their primary role is to ensure that parents are informed, empowered, and actively engaged in their child's mentorship journey.
