AT A GLANCE:
PROJECT LYDIA INNOVATORS & MENTORS
Do you dream of starting and running your own business?
Project Lydia is designed to help adults like you learn business skills, develop a business plan, and start that business. The program features a multi-week training program, support networks and mentors, and business start-up grant funds for each participant.
Participation is limited to 15 innovators.

Do you enjoy coaching and mentoring others? Are you a business owner who wants to help others launch their own business?
As a mentor, your role is a vital part of this program and includes the following:
-
Work to form a supportive and trusting relationship with the innovators. Participate in mentor training prior to meeting them.
-
Guide innovators in creating a budget for using their $500 non-competitive micro-grant to launch a business.
-
Support learning throughout the training course to assist innovators in developing each component of their business plan.
-
Coach and encourage the innovators during the launch phase and celebrate their growth. Help them to consider next steps.
