BUILD Boston
| Ways to help | Business Team MentorBUILD’s mission is to ignite the potential of youth in under-resourced communities to build Career success, Entrepreneurial mindsets, and Opportunity. We help students become the CEOs of their own lives. One of the key components of our organization is mentoring. Business Team Mentors volunteer weekly in a BUILD classroom for 60-90 minutes, supporting and motivating students on a youth business team. They provide thoughtful and compassionate feedback along the students' entrepreneurial journey and develop relationships with students that promote mutual trust and respect. This volunteer opportunity is working with high school students. There is no prior business experience required and we encourage people of all career backgrounds to apply.All mentors go through an orientation at the beginning of the year to go over role and expectations. There are also ongoing trainings, newsletters, resources and check ins with BUILD staff and teachers.Benefits and opportunities include:
