BECOME A MENTOR

Become A Mentor

Many successful business people cite early mentors as an important factor in their success. You can probably think of a mentor who changed your life by sharing his or her wisdom or experience.

As a Mentor, you will offer guidance and support, while the young entrepreneur assumes the work and ultimate responsibility for the business.  With your mentoring, they have a better understanding of what it takes to be an entrepreneur, develop some business acumen and self-confidence that will serve them in every area of their life, now and in the future.

The mentoring relationship is a special one that empowers the young entrepreneur and enriches the mentor. By volunteering to become a Mentor, you will be playing a vital role in the life of a young businessperson.
