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.
