Member Benefits

Mentoring for entrepreneurs in the social economy

Are you looking for support to take a step back and help you face the realities of your type of organization? Mentoring for social economy entrepreneurs is for you!
In partnership with the Mentoring Network, we offer support to our members so that they can benefit from mentoring by reimbursing the membership cost during the first year.

Mentoring is a support relationship based on listening, trust and mutual respect. Mentors share their experience and help entrepreneurs find answers to their questions. Mentoring allows, one meeting at a time, to take a step back from the challenges they face.

Mentoring will help you:

  • Develop your entrepreneurial skills
  • Align your business objectives and your social impact
  • Make better decisions with complete confidentiality
  • Balancing your responsibilities and expectations
  • Breaking the isolation
