Our Team

Oliver Shemtov

Hi! I am a senior at BHHS and the founder of BHMentors. When I realized that many younger students in our district were feeling lost, alone, and in need of both emotional and academic support, I felt that I needed to do something. Through BHMentors, I aim to help students navigate the challenges that come with growing into high school and young adulthood by providing them with a high school volunteer mentor who will not only provide them with the help they need in sports or school but also be there for them as a guide and older sibling like figure as they enter into high school.

Mission Statement

"BHMentors is dedicated to connecting talented high school students with meaningful volunteer work opportunities in the community that focus on tutoring and mentoring younger peers. Our mission is to provide guidance and support to middle schoolers experiencing educational and personal challenges due to the absence of proper support, helping them navigate the complexities of teenage life."

Vision Statement

"BHMentors envisions a community where every young person has access to the mentorship and educational resources they need to thrive academically and personally. Our vision is to empower the next generation of leaders by fostering enduring mentor relationships that bridge the gaps in guidance and support, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and success. We also aim to expand our program from the Beverly Hills School District community to the LA County School District and one day on a national level."
