Entrepreneur on MicroMentor

About

Your professional skills can help small businesses grow and create jobs. Volunteer as a mentor on MicroMentor.org and make a meaningful connection with a business owner. Mentors join, search for entrepreneurs to assist online, and once connected, serve as a coach and trusted guide.

This volunteer opportunity is extremely flexible - you set the schedule and the expectations with your mentee. Meanwhile, our support staff is by your side every step of the way to help you succeed as a mentor.

Some entrepreneurs need a sounding board or general industry advice, while others are looking for targeted technical advising. Put your business skills to good use and help a small business owner today.
