BUILD Boston Is Seeking Mentors!

“What if one lunch meeting each week could change a life, including your own? BUILD is seeking fun and caring Mentors to help our high school students launch real businesses.

“Stepping into the classroom, I feel transformed. I’m no longer an entrepreneur fighting my daily challenges. Some days I’m a coach. Some days I’m a mentor. Some days I’m a drill sergeant. Some days I’m a friend. Every day, I’m rewarded. Being a BUILD mentor has been my most rewarding experience in the last year.”

- Slava Menn, BUILD Mentor & Co-Founder Gotham Bicycle

Mentoring takes place at our partner schools during the early afternoon. Use your lunch hour to help make a difference in a young person’s life while connecting with other like-minded professionals in Boston. Entrepreneurial experience is preferred but NOT required. Training is provided. The slots available are listed below.

To find out if being a BUILD mentor is for you, please complete our online application here. For more information, please contact Steve Slavsky at sslavsky@build.org
