Role of the Mentor
Two volunteer mentors will be assigned to mentor one presenter and will have the following responsibilities:
- During each Presentation Practice Session, provide on-the-spot feedback and advice to each of the presenters.
- Between each Presentation Practice Session, provide advice and assistance to the assigned mentee to help them fine tune their three minute pitch.
Mentors must commit to attend a Fundamentals Workshop, a Social Meet & Greet evening event, and four working sessions, one at the Arizona Community Foundation and three at ASU SkySong with their presenters. The first session is a four hour “Orientation Workshop” During the first two hours of this session, the presenters and mentors will be provided with orientation training. During the final two hours, mentors will be introduced to their respective presenters and begin their initial planning and work session. The next three are the “Presentation Practice Sessions” Mentors will be scheduled to attend one hour of each of the three sessions. The” Dress Rehearsal”, for up to ten selected, finalists will be held at the showcase venue.

In summary, the total time commitment for the formal mentor training program is only 10 hours over the 2 month period. Additional time mentoring your presenter will vary and can be scheduled at the most convenient times and locations for each individual involved. SVP Arizona will also be videotaping and posting each practice session for all presenters on a secure website. This will facilitate access for all presenters and mentors to review progress and provide pitch and to expand the footprint of each non-profit organization. We greatly appreciate your generous donation of time to make the Fast Pitch Social Innovation Expo the headline event for advancing creative solutions to social causes.
