Frequently Asked Questions - Schools
How does the program integrate with existing curriculum?
Our program is designed as a flexible after-school or extracurricular activity that complements your existing curriculum. We provide all materials, mentor support, and student resources. Teachers can integrate entrepreneurship concepts into business, marketing, or career-readiness courses, but the program runs independently with minimal staff time required.
What staff time and resources are required from our school?
Minimal staff involvement is needed. We recommend a faculty advisor who commits 1-2 hours per month for coordination. Our remote platform and mentor network handle the majority of instruction and support. We provide all curriculum materials, technology platforms, and student resources at no additional cost.
How do you ensure equitable student access?
We prioritize accessibility through need-based scholarships, completely remote delivery (no transportation barriers), flexible scheduling for working students, and device lending programs. 78% of our students come from underserved communities, and we actively recruit from diverse backgrounds.
What are the technology requirements?
Students need internet access and a device (computer, tablet, or smartphone). We provide access to all software platforms and tools at no cost. Our technology partner program can assist schools in securing devices for students who need them.
Frequently Asked Questions - Corporations
How are partnership funds utilized?
72% of funds go directly to student program delivery including mentorship, curriculum development, technology platforms, and student resources. 18% supports operations and administration, while 10% funds growth and sustainability. We provide detailed financial reports to all partners showing fund allocation and impact metrics.
What recognition and visibility do partners receive?
Recognition varies by partnership tier and includes logo placement on our website and materials, social media mentions, press release opportunities, co-branded events, and features in our newsletters and annual reports. Founding Partners receive the highest visibility including naming rights for student cohorts.
How can our employees get involved?
We offer multiple engagement opportunities: role-based mentorship (2-4 hours/month), project advising (1-2 hours/month), workshop facilitation, portfolio reviews, and student showcase judging. All activities are remote and scheduled to accommodate working professionals. We provide training and ongoing support for all volunteers.
What ESG reporting data do you provide?
We provide comprehensive impact metrics including students served (with demographic data), educational outcomes, business launches, skill development assessments, college enrollment rates, and partner satisfaction scores. Reports include quantifiable social impact aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals and can be customized for your ESG reporting requirements.
