Last week, Redlands-based ESRI announced it would make its advanced mapping software ArcGIS available to K-12 schools across the country.

Now the company is asking for mentors to help students and teachers get started using the mapping software, ArcGIS Online.

GIS professionals can become GeoMentors in their communities and launch a GIS program at a local school or engage with high schools on specific projects.

Using ArcGIS Online helps students with a variety of skills that lead to college and career readiness, according to Esri’s website.
