Just 30 minutes a month can help a young person achieve success.

Share Your Experience. Encourage

Join the Hunter’s Mentor Network

Many young people who receive Hunter’s Fund Grants are developing promising ideas with limited access to experienced advisers.

A thoughtful conversation, occasional email, or helpful introduction could give a young entrepreneur, artist, inventor, or community leader the encouragement and direction needed to take an important next step.

There is no commitment today.

Tell us about your experience, and we will contact you only when we identify a grant recipient who may be a good match.

You decide then whether you are interested and available.

 
 

How It Works

1. Tell Us About Your Experience

Select the areas in which you may be able to offer advice, encouragement, or professional insight.

2. We Look for a Possible Match

When a Hunter’s Fund Grant recipient could benefit from your background, we will send you information about the young person and the project.

3. You Decide

There is no obligation to accept a mentoring opportunity. You decide whether the match feels right and whether you have the time to help.

Mentoring Can Be Simple

Mentoring does not have to require a large time commitment.

A brief monthly phone or Zoom conversation—or even an occasional email or text—can provide valuable encouragement and practical guidance.

You might help a young person:

  • Think through a business or project idea

  • Prepare a presentation or proposal

  • Develop a marketing or social media plan

  • Understand finances, pricing, or budgeting

  • Make a professional connection

  • Work through a challenge

  • Gain confidence in the next step

Just 30 minutes a month could help change a young person’s life.

 
 

Who Can Become a Mentor?

Hunter’s Mentors come from many professional and personal backgrounds.

You do not need to be an expert in every aspect of a young person’s project. Often, the most valuable thing a mentor can provide is perspective, encouragement, and the willingness to listen.

Areas of experience may include:

Business and Professional Services

Entrepreneurship, business start-up, finance, accounting, legal services, marketing, nonprofit leadership, and management.

Technology and Science

Artificial intelligence, technology, robotics, space science, healthcare, agriculture, and aquaculture.

Arts, Media, and Communications

Music, performing arts, fashion and design, film, photography, journalism, podcasting, content creation, social media, and video editing.

Education and Community Programs

Education, camps, sports, library science, and community leadership.
