MENTOR NEW ENTREPRENEURS IN TRAINING – Remote Across Canada

Volunteering as a group mentor with one of Rise’s Entrepreneurship Training Programs (training programs) is the opportunity to share your professional knowledge and experience to help empower new and aspiring entrepreneurs of all ages and at all stages of their business journey.

Currently, Rise is looking for volunteers who have extensive skills and knowledge to share in critical business areas, such as coaching, e-commerce, digital marketing, online branding and communications, finance and accounting for small business, and/or general expertise in small business and entrepreneurship.

Training programs run for eight (8) to 10 weeks during which you will work with small groups of entrepreneurs with varying levels of experience to help them build the confidence and skills to turn their business idea into a business plan. Whether in-person or virtual, you will create a space to encourage open, constructive peer discussions and give your mentees personalized insight and support. As a volunteer mentor, you will have ongoing support from Rise program facilitators and Volunteer Program staff to help make your experience as productive and fulfilling as possible.

Volunteering with Rise is an opportunity help to empower individuals with mental health and addiction challenges to build small businesses that can improve their lives and help communities across Canada thrive.

“I really believe that the one-on-one time that I had with the volunteers who supported me has been such a game changer for me as an independent artist looking for ways to actually make my career something fulfilling and something long-lasting. And believe me when I tell you, it’s been super impactful.”
