York, Pa. – Barley Snyder attorney Martin R.

As a mentor, Siegel will play an important role in supporting a first-generation, low-income student in Baltimore City, helping him graduate high school, succeed in college, and achieve his ambitions.
Launched in 2019, iMentor Baltimore partners with Baltimore City Public Schools to increase college graduation rates for first-generation students.
