Save to Favorites

Volunteer Business Coaches work with students, from February to May, on activities and business principles in anticipation of launching a successful business.

About Us

• The Starfish Alliance Inc. ROM program offers a unique, no experience necessary, opportunity for volunteers to give back to the community and connect with youth who attend Columbus City or South Western City schools.
• We invite compassionate community members, like yourself, to join us in our mission to prepare youth for life after high school.
• Volunteers mentor, advise, and celebrate youth progress toward goals in employment, education, and entrepreneurship.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Help youth set/refine goals in multiple domains (i.e., life, academics, work, etc.)
• Provide feedback on progress toward personal and academic goals
• Look for "mentoring moments" - opportunities to listen and provide encouragement when they fail to follow through on commitments
• Commit to seven scheduled lunch sessions Feb-May (every other week; 1 hr each)
• Bring real business/entrepreneurial experience to mentor, advise, and celebrate youth progress toward goals in entrepreneurship
• Assist students in activities to launch a successful business venture for the summer of 2020

Minimum Qualifications/Requirements/Attributes
