Would you like to use your skills to make positive change in the world? Would you like to help students build and develop a social enterprise? Would you like to create meaningful global connections with like-minded people around the world? As a professional, you can choose your level of involvement, time commitment, resources given and how you open your network. The more you give, the more you get!
Utilize your skills by helping aspiring young social entrepreneurs to develop their ideas. You will mentor a team of a minimum of two students (university level, any major, any nationality) and learn as much from them as they will learn from you. You can become a guiding coach and spend 2-4 hours per month with the team or a mentor and provide feedback one time.
Teams will need significant feedback to refine their ideas and make them a reality. Opening your networks in very small ways could be of tremendous value to them. In exchange you can also develop a pool of interesting new contacts.
Spread the word about teams on social media, blogs, newspapers or any other available media.
Can the company you work for add value? Don’t hesitate to involve them!
You can consider helping the team during the crowd-funding event by promoting the project to your network.
Work space, access to reports, interviews… you can be as imaginative as you want to help the teams.
