Mentors from the Bay Area impact community

Mentors from the Bay Area impact community
Path · Mentors

Professionals working in sustainability, social enterprise, nonprofits, impact investing and the businesses in between, who have offered their time.

Mentorship here stands on its own. Attach a mentor to a paid project, or request one for career guidance with no project at all.

The mentor list opens this fall. Right now we're building it.

Become a mentor

About two hours per student, spread over a month. You pick how many students at a time, and you can pause any time.

Closing noteA few lines to the student

You don't need a project to mentor on. Many requests will be career conversations: how you got your first role, whether to go in-house or to a firm, what the Bay Area market looks like right now.

Request a mentor

Students and early-career people can request a mentor once the list opens. The request asks where you are, what you want from the conversation, and the one question you most want answered. That question is what we match on.

More ways to take partPaid projects, a published byline, or hosting a gathering.

FYP is home to People & Purpose, a Bay Area community of professionals working on social and environmental impact, and its members are the first mentors here. We're describing a community we're part of, and we've tried to be as straight about it as we are about everyone else.
