We feel excited and grateful! We started our new mentorship program, one component of the 2021 SEEDS curriculum that includes five one-hour-long sessions. Over 50 students between our 9-12 years old had their first mentoring session as entrepreneurs.
Mentors who come from backgrounds like business owners, marketing specialists, public administrators, and passionate entrepreneurs add a dose of passion and motivation to guide the students through the development of their businesses.
We are thankful for those who were part of this significant initiative to support our students!
José Ochoa, Award-winning Entrepreneur during his SEEDS Mentorship.
Each mentor shares their experience and challenges the students to do fun activities to reinforce the skills and teamwork.
