Ways to Volunteer

Choose the role that fits you best.

Business Mentors

Coming Soon!

Bring your experience. Build a relationship. Help someone chart their own course.

Starting and growing a business can be deeply rewarding and deeply isolating. Many E4E graduates are making important decisions without easy access to experienced people they can think things through with.

Business Mentors bring hard-earned experience into an ongoing relationship with a local entrepreneur. You might help someone sort through a financial decision, strengthen a business plan, think through a partnership, improve their systems, or decide what comes next.

E4E provides orientation, clear boundaries, thoughtful matching, and ongoing staff support. Your role is to listen, ask useful questions, and offer perspective that helps grads move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

This is a good fit for experienced entrepreneurs and former business owners who want to put what they’ve learned to work in a direct, personal, and meaningful way.

Ambassadors

Connect good people with great work.

Ambassadors help grow our community of volunteers, donors, and allies. You’ll introduce us to people who care about our mission, invite friends to E4E events, help identify potential donors, volunteers, and allies, and connect us with community leaders.

We’re looking for people who enjoy building relationships, believe in local entrepreneurs, and are willing to make introductions and follow through.

The commitment is about four hours per month for an initial six month commitment.

Host a House Party Fundraiser

Gather your friends!

One of the most meaningful ways to support Enterprise for Equity is to introduce our work to people you know.

Host an informal gathering of friends, neighbors, or colleagues to learn about Enterprise for Equity and help raise funds for our programs. It could be a backyard barbecue, a dinner party, or a casual get-together at your favorite local venue. You choose the setting and invite the guests.

We’ll help you plan your gathering, provide printed materials, and share the story of our work. You don’t need fundraising experience, just a willingness to bring people together to benefit the community.
