ARE YOU LOOKING TO MENTOR THE NEXT GENERATION?
WHY BECOME A MENTOR?
Becoming a mentor for young entrepreneurs offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of innovation and business leadership. By sharing your experience, knowledge, and insights, you have the power to inspire and guide the next generation of entrepreneurs through their journey of discovery and growth.
Moreover, being a mentor provides immense personal and professional rewards. It allows you to reflect on your own journey, refine your leadership skills, and stay connected with the latest trends and innovative ideas within the industry. You’ll engage with enthusiastic and driven individuals, which can reignite your passion and creativity, offering a fresh perspective on your own work. This exchange of knowledge and experience is mutually beneficial, fostering a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in seeing your mentees achieve their goals.

WHAT'S NEEDED TO BECOME A MENTOR?
We pride ourselves on the vast experience we have within The Kent Foundation across all our mentors. This helps us make sure we match our mentees with the mentor that will give them the best help.
We don’t have specific requirements such as “10 years in business”. We care more about your passion and that you have a good enough understanding of business to be able to help a young entrepreneur who’s completely new to the business scene.
If in doubt, get in contact and we can have a chat.
HOW DOES THE KENT FOUNDATION SUPPORT YOU?
We have over 100 volunteer mentors at The Kent Foundation. They are at the heart of what we do. That’s why we make sure to support our mentors through every relationship they have.
