Mentoring is off to a great start!

The CEO Mentoring Program pairs each student with a local business or community leader who provides guidance throughout the year.

Mentor partnerships are designed to:
• elevate students’ educational experiences
• offer personalized professional insight
• provide enriching real world perspective
• strengthen community connections
• and help students develop confidence and clarity as they move toward their individual business ventures.

Mentors meet with students during scheduled monthly Mentor Days, participate in events, and serve as a steady source of encouragement and accountability as students move from ideation to launching their final businesses.
