Welcome to the Champion Mentors program. We are asking each one of our Champion Mentors to team-up, one-on-one, with an unemployed or under-employed mentor, with a special focus on veterans who are wounded, disabled or homeless. We are asking our mentors not to provide a job to the mentees they work with, but to put their personal "networks" at the disposal of the mentees, so that the veteran job-seekers or entrepreneurs can follow smart "networking" leads and find their own paths to success.

If you will volunteer to be a Champion Mentor, we would ask you to agree to do the following: 

"Champion Mentor" Sign-up here..        Veterans, sign-up here to get Mentors..

Agree to team up one-on-one with a veteran mentee who will be matched closely with the prospective mentor according to mutual interests:

• Interest in a specific industry or line of business

1. Shared interests in other areas, such as sports, background, hobbies, movies, etc.

• Agree to share your e-mail address with one mentee, and to field e-mails from the mentee on a regular basis (weekly, every 2-3 days, whatever works) according to a schedule set by the mentor

1. Agree to tap your personal “networks” (business and/or personal contacts) to identify people you know who will be willing to communicate with your mentee (via e-mail or phone) and help guide them on pathways to success
2. Agree to have one personal, face-to-face meeting with your mentee, but only if it’s reasonably convenient for the mentor and mentee
3. Agree to field an occasional, short phone call from your mentee, to allow him/her a chance to report on progress following up with your network contacts
4. Agree to review your mentee’s resume, and to make suggestions about how to improve it
5. Agree to post your resume or CV as a clickable item in your Champion Mentor Profile (so that veterans can see what a professional resume contains)
6. Agree to endeavor to help your mentee secure quality employment or start a business, within six months of teaming up
7. Agree to stay in touch with the mentee on a regular basis even after he/she finds a job or starts a business, and to remain a guide and advisor in years to come
