EY College MAP Mentoring for Access and Persistence
► In the US, one in five American youth do not finish high school.
► An estimated 5.6 million young people are disconnected from education and career opportunities.
► This represents a loss of talent, human capital, and societal contribution that we cannot afford.
EY College MAPConnects groups of EY volunteer mentors with groups of underserved high-school students…
… to help them apply to and succeed in college.

How the race works
One racer is on
the course at all
times with 8 active
crew members.
Typically a shift is
8 hours which
maximizes rest
over 24 hours
without overly
stressing the
active riders
Team A (2 riders)
20 minute Sprint
Rider 2 driven up the course
Repeat for 8 hours
20 minute Sprint
Rider 1 driven up the course

How the race worksHigh speed transitions during the day
► In the heat of the desert
these transitions may
occur every 15 minutes
to prevent riders from
getting heat stroke
► That’s 32 transitions per
shift
► Over 24 hours that’s
96 opportunities for
something to go wrong
► 672 transitions over 7
days – actually more
as on some climbs we
did transitions every
5 minutes
