Why become a mentor?

Give back to your community

As a volunteer mentor, you can use your skills to help a new generation of small businesses to survive and thrive.

Flexibility

Mentoring sessions last just one hour and are all online. There’s also no minimum commitment – you decide how much or how little to mentor. Schedule meetings at times that suit you.

Gain new skills

Mentoring small businesses and hosting Masterclasses and workshops gives you transferable skills that make you a better manager, communicator, and team member.

Grow your network

Meet and get inspired by enthusiastic entrepreneurs from a range of industries and countries.
