Description
Empower the next generation of business leaders as a JA Company Program Mentor!
Within a team of volunteers, Company Program Mentors become business advisors and facilitators for a group of 10-15 high school students. Mentors help foster students’ entrepreneurial spirit and support them through an 18-week journey where they create, manage, and liquidate a real start-up business. Resources, training, and support for volunteers are provided by JA.

Volunteers do not need a particular background to be an effective Company Program Mentor. Most important is an ability to foster good teamwork and a desire to support youth in an impactful way.

-Must be available for a volunteer interview and complete all screening requirements (Police Records Check with Vulnerable Sector Search)
-Confident presenting to and working with youth
-Relevant work and/or educational experience (Business, Finance, etc.)
