Mentorship is the backbone of success
Mentorship is an engine of progress in a world where access is often the deciding factor in who gets an opportunity. Thankfully, there are organizations across a multitude of industries that deliberately invest their time and resources in the next wave of change-makers, innovators, and future leaders. These Black mentorship programs share the guiding principles that keep the pipeline of excellence flowing. They are the bridge to a bright future in Black communities. Whether mentors operate in boardrooms or standing at the front of a classroom, they impart knowledge and wisdom to the ambitious mentees who will stand on their shoulders. A mentorship‑driven culture is the gift that keeps on giving. BLACK ENTERPRISE recognizes those who are committed to extending mentoring efforts on National Mentoring Day.
