In light of current events that have illuminated the continued existence and impact of systemic racism, society finds itself once again at a crossroads. There is a real opportunity to take decisive action that could have positive ripple effects for decades. Multiple research studies have shown the positive effects of mentoring, but people of color report more barriers to accessing mentors than their white peers. By offering formal mentoring and mentoring software to organizations aiming to improve racial equity, Chronus aims to create a sustainable and scalable opportunity to connect mentors that want to help make a difference with mentees that can truly benefit from the mentorship.

We know the challenges we are facing will take time to overcome, but this program is an initial step and intentional commitment to racial equity for the long haul.”
