Do you have business skills or experience to share with others? Become a business mentor and help entrepreneurs rebuild the economy. MicroMentor.org is an online community of entrepreneurs and business mentors. Mentors join, search for entrepreneurs to assist online, and once connected, start providing critical business knowledge. This is an extremely flexible volunteer opportunity because you set the terms of the relationship.
Some entrepreneurs need a sounding board or general industry advice, while others are looking for targeted technical advising. Connected entrepreneurs on average spend 16 hours with their mentors and grow their revenue by 75%.
In addition to the value of giving back, mentors also develop new skills as a teacher and coach. Conversations with entrepreneurs expose mentors to new industries, challenges, experiences and ideas. Our mentors report that they feel like they get much more than they give.
