Apply to become a K4G mentor
Our mentors are at the core of the Kickstarting For Good experience. They are the leading experts of our movement and many are successful nonprofit and charity founders in their own right.
There are many levels of commitment you can choose from as a mentor, starting at delivering an online workshop for our cohort or being available for occasional calls, through to ongoing one-on-one mentorship to guide a participant towards making the largest possible impact with their organisation.
If you are interested in being a mentor, please complete our mentor application form to let us know what skills and experience you have that our participants might be able to benefit from. Note that mentors usually offer their time pro-bono, however we are able to contribute to, or cover, most expenses or travel and accommodation costs.
Why become a K4G mentor?
Shape the people shaping our movement
Your experience can accelerate the impact of the next wave of nonprofit and charity leaders tackling food-system transformation.
Amplify your own impact
Even if your own organisation is at capacity, mentoring allows you to multiply your effect by equipping other founders to succeed faster and avoid pitfalls.
Connect with fellow leaders
K4G mentors are a curated group of some of the most influential figures in the dietary-change movement. Join a network that shares your vision and values.
Inspire and give back
Many of today’s successful charity founders were helped by a mentor themselves. This is your chance to give the next generation of change-makers a helping hand up.
What makes a great K4G mentor?
- You are a recognised expert and leader in your field.
- You have a track record in the food system transformation, dietary-change or animal movement.
- You are likely a successful nonprofit founder yourself or have extensive knowledge of the nonprofit and charity sector.
- You have a passion for entrepreneurship and want to give back.
- Or you may have some great skills and knowledge gained from outside the movement that you want to pass on to to create greater impact.
How you can contribute
- Deliver an online workshop or seminar for our cohort on a much-needed topic.
- Make yourself available as an on-call expert on a specific topic or skill for when participants need advice.
- Become a regular ongoing mentor to a specific developing organisation that you can help guide towards creating impact.
- Join us as a guest mentor during our in-person sections in Berlin to work one-on-one with the cohort.
