Abstract: Mentoring is widely cited as a strategy to increase the representation of Latinx in technology, but the role of informal relationships with adults outside their family remains unclear. This study explores how natural mentoring is utilized by Latinx youth at a community-based organization, including the perspectives of both mentors and mentees, what it looks like, and the implications for students' education and career pathways in the technology sector. The findings describe the motivations, strategies, and ideologies of the adults in informal learning settings, as well as similarities and differences in the perspectives of the mentors and mentees.
