Mentor Me Collective is empowering the next generation of tech leaders through holistic training and mentorship

Mentor Me Collective, a volunteer-led global technical institute, is using Google for Nonprofits to scale access to education, mentorship and career pathways, helping underserved learners break into the tech industry. To meet demand and scale its programme, Mentor Me Collective has leveraged Google for Nonprofits to streamline its core workflows. 



Gemini, Google Forms and Gemini Notebook now capture and analyse scholar feedback and programme performance data in minutes, replacing up to 150 hours of manual survey analysis per cohort (twice a year) and 200 hours of monthly reporting. Meanwhile, Gemini and Google Vids have reduced the development of course materials from months to hours.

The Tawaki Project, a volunteer-led conservation organization in New Zealand, is using Google for Nonprofits to transform how penguin data is collected, shared and understood, unlocking critical insights to drive real-world conservation outcomes.

Through Google for Nonprofits, the Tawaki Project integrated Google Sheets to standardise and automate its data collection, cutting down 6 weeks of manual processing into just minutes. Alongside this, Google Maps Platform API credits enabled the team to develop PenguinTracking, a data visualisation platform that transforms complex datasets into interactive, accessible insights, helping to raise awareness of New Zealand’s penguins.
