Entrepreneurship Mentorship Program

Aim of the Program

What if you could turn a hobby or passion into a bigger project that you can grow and develop throughout high school? You can grow, scale, monetize, and use it to enhance your resume and portfolios while learning skills that will set you up for a successful career later on.

The Entrepreneurship Mentorship Program is an opportunity for students to be mentored by older students who have successfully built their own projects and gained invaluable experiences, lessons, and skills. Mentors at the Entrepreneurship Mentorship Program are incredibly passionate about helping other youths follow similar paths and are available to motivate and mentor youth in their community.

As a student at the Entrepreneurship Mentorship Program, you'll be paired with a student with similar areas of interest who will hold you accountable to achieve your goals and offer you advice and support throughout the months of July and August. The program will also occasionally bring in entrepreneurs with years of field experience during weekly group learning sessions to offer additional guidance.

Outcomes

At the end of the program, you'll have:

Gained and developed hard and soft skills
Built a project that you're passionate about that you can pursue after the program.
Be part of a strong community of like-minded students
Have built a strong relationship with a mentor that you can stay in contact with after the program.
Various (Paid Internships, Speaking...) opportunities for students who excel in the program.
