Give Back to the Community You Serve

Balancing Business with Giving Back
You got into business for the freedom to make an impact on whatever you saw as most important. But with your full schedule, it can feel like “just one more thing” on your already full plate. The good news? You don’t need to sacrifice that freedom to make an impact. You just need the right opportunity.

How to become a mentor
Mentors are taken through a complete background check and mentor certification training.
They are placed in a mentor team and paired with a school and group of students for a whole school semester or year.
Each week the mentor team meets with students and guides them through the T1L1 curriculum that teaches universal principles to them.
Mentors work at developing long-term relationships so the students can feel safe asking questions of significance.
