Mentor

What is a Mentor?

Mentors will offer an individual student team strategic guidance and wisdom as they develop their business concept. The mentoring relationship will begin in early September, once student teams have been formed and completed their ideation. This relationship will continue through the end of the school year (end of May). Mentors will be expected to communicate with their team on a weekly basis: either in person, by phone, or by email. We will be seeking one mentor per student team or about 15 mentors for the school year.

Entrepreneurial experience is important in the mentoring role. Mentors should have an engaging personality and passion for their business. We are looking for persons with patience (a necessary trait when working with teens!) and a willingness to serve as a guide to students, supporting their business development, not leading it.
