EAF mentors are experienced professionals, entrepreneurs, educators, skilled experts, and community-minded leaders who provide guidance, accountability, and practical perspective to young entrepreneurs, students, skills trainees, and emerging leaders.
The Eli Adewole Foundation mentor community exists to make sure young people are not walking alone. Mentors help participants think clearly, ask better questions, build confidence, understand opportunity, and take more responsible steps.
Our mentors support multiple pathways: entrepreneurship, education, skills acquisition, employability, career readiness, leadership, and personal growth.
To request a mentor, complete the mentee application form. The foundation will review your goals, background, support needs, and preferred mentorship area before matching you where possible.
These sample mentor categories help applicants request the kind of guidance they need. Replace these cards with approved mentor profiles once EAF begins onboarding mentors.
