How the Mentor Program works
How do I start a social impact program at my startup?
How do I measure my company’s impact?
Building a social impact program in a corporate setting inevitably sparks a lot of questions.
Luckily, members of Startups Give Back’s mentor group has been there and done that.
So, how do you connect with a mentor? Here’s how it works:
- Submit a question via the question submission form on the mentor page.
- Your question is sent to the mentor group
- We connect you to a mentor or multiple mentors who can provide advice
It’s that simple.
Final thoughts
Building a social impact program doesn’t have to be hard; you don’t have to be left scratching your head.
With the help of the Startups Give Back mentors, you’ll get the advice you need to scale your impact.
As Sidney Browning from Course Hero shared after her experience with two mentors, “Both mentors encouraged me to reach back out to them with any additional questions as our volunteering program evolves which is truly an amazing resource since they both have impressive knowledge in this field.”
