Opportunity Details
NFTE Chicago Mentoring at Perspectives High School of Technology - Capital One
NFTE Chicago would like to thank you for your time in the classroom this year. Students benefit greatly from the leadership and insight you offer. We hope you enjoy the opportunity to work with our young entrepreneurs, challenge them intellectually, and build a positive mentoring relationship.
Business Plan Mentoring is the NFTE Chicago standard format for volunteering in classrooms. Mentors and students will work togther on activities that reflect their work in their NFTE class, while also consulting on their individual business planning efforts.
NFTE has created session guides that will be emailed to all registered volunteers before their session date. However, it is not necessary to prepare for any session in any way besides being present for your mentees.
NFTE staff will facilitate all aspects of each session and volunteers are encouraged to engage in natural and engaging conversation with students surrounding their work with NFTE.
