Lead a Future Leader

Rich Central High School needs business owners, leaders, or executives to serve as mentors, coaches, and volunteers for students in the INCubatorEdu program.

 

The INCubatorEdu program offers students an authentic entrepreneurship

experience. In this program, students have the opportunity to create and fully develop a product or service. Real entrepreneurs and business experts serve as volunteer coaches and mentors, guiding student teams through the Lean Startup processes of developing hypotheses about a business concept, testing those hypotheses, adapting, and further iteration. The program also includes foundational business topics such as marketing and finance.

 

Volunteer mentors lead a single class session (in person or virtual) on a specific subject matter related to entrepreneurship. Also required are volunteer coaches. Coaches assist student teams throughout the semester in building their skill levels and finessing their presentations for an end-of-the-semester startup pitch competition.
