What is the time commitment when volunteering for Sky’s the Limit?

By joining skysthelimit.org as a volunteer you are committing to:

Respond to any entrepreneur that reaches out. If you receive too many requests, you can pause new messages in your messaging settings or reach out to support@skysthelimit.org for assistance.
Meet with at least one entrepreneur for an Intro Meeting as soon as possible.
If you decide to commit to further collaboration with an entrepreneur, you both commit to attending scheduled meetings on time, or provide 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule.
Rate your experience and provide feedback and updates when asked.

What are my options for volunteering?

Volunteers are encouraged to provide whatever level of commitment they can.

For instance, you can help as an advisor and provide short-term support for a young entrepreneur in a specific area of their business. This can involve as little as one hour for a single meeting, or can involve a considerable effort for a short time frame if the support offered is more involved (e.g. support in designing a website or advice on structuring their bookkeeping).

Or you might choose to develop longer engagements. Mentors work with entrepreneurs an average of one hour per week for a year, providing a combination of specific expertise and overall coaching and support. A mentoring relationship typically starts with a short-term project so that the volunteer and the entrepreneur have the opportunity to try the relationship on a smaller scale before advancing to a mentor/mentee relationship.
