Needs From: United Way of Pioneer Valley

EforAll is interested in potential board members.

Desirable traits: We are looking for individuals that can help us support our site's development and fundraising and expand network and credibility. Desired representation from Hampshire/Franklin Counties and Spanish speakers highly desirable

Other Information: This is not actually a fiduciary board - this is an Advisory Council.  EforAll is a national non-profit that has a formalized fiduciary board on the national level, but each site is run by a local advisory council, and that is what we are looking for.  We are looking for individuals who can leverage personal and professional network to recruit mentors, donors, judges, specialists, and other advisory council members.   Council members are not expected to vote on or review our financials.

Help us read applications for our Business Accelerator & Pitch Contests!  One way that we are able to ensure fairness and balance among Pitch Contest and Accelerator applicants is by having individuals volunteer their time to review and score applications from entrepreneurs. Constructive feedback to early-stage entrepreneurs is critical to their growth and overall success. This is done remotely, time commitment is flexible, and offered several times per year. This is a great way to plug into the creative energy of the community.  English and Spanish speakers are always needed.

Mentors play a critical role in the EforAll Business Accelerator program, providing ongoing support and encouragement to an aspiring entrepreneur looking to start a business. Mentors get the opportunity to utilize their knowledge and professional experience as part of a dedicated mentor team during this year-long program.

Accelerator Mentors are volunteers from various backgrounds and use their business and leadership experience to guide new entrepreneurs through the process of turning their idea into a growing business. You do not have to be a business owner to be a mentor.

Mentors work in teams of two and are matched with an entrepreneur based on schedule availability and desire to work together. The team meets as a group, often virtually, to help reaffirm topics and themes raised during classes while strategizing with the entrepreneur on reaching their specific goals during the program.

This role is great for anyone looking for a highly rewarding and fun volunteer experience who can dedicate the time needed to help someone pursue their business dream.
