Aspiring Business Leader Mentorship Program
Aspiring Business Leader Mentorship Program is intended for secondary students who want to develop knowledge areas and skills. The program is an experiential opportunity that can inspire individuals to pursue community impact projects and build capacity. Through selection and training of diverse mentors, youth can share insights, organize professional learning activities, and collaboratively identify community impact possibilities with interested mentees. The motivation is to encourage participants to reflect about strategies as future societal leaders who are conscientious, enthusiastic, and innovative.
