Volunteer opportunities:
BUSINESS & ENTREPRENEURSHIP MENTOR
Launching or growing a business can be complicated and overwhelming. Black Connect’s Business & Entrepreneur Assessment (BEA) helps Black Connect members who aspire to launch or grow a business venture, but need a road map to achieving their goals. This assessment program can help individuals to not only understand their strengths and capabilities, but can also provide useful guidance for creating a business pan and finding additional resources. If you can commit to volunteering to have a few brief discussions each month with entrepreneurs needing guidance and direction, BECOME A MENTOR TODAY.
Contributors
Share weekly or monthly articles, photos or videos created by you that we’ll feature on Black Connect’s website, social media, business and social platform, including the Black Connect app. We’re looking for contributors who want to lend their voice to discuss the multitude of factors that impact the racial wealth gap. From advice to starting and running a business, tax or law advice, politics, or simply exploring current events and trends and how they impact the Black community. You’ll expand your network and make valuable connections along the way. START CONTRIBUTING TODAY.
