Calling Local Businesses

We’re seeking your assistance with our search for local business/entrepreneurship mentors in the community!

YSpace is excited to partner with the Town of Georgina and the Town of East Gwillimbury to launch small business supports in the local communities through the Idea Consultation program. The program is designed to help connect local entrepreneurs and business owners to mentors and resources within their local communities.

Mentorship roles and commitments vary depending on the programs and startup needs. At this point in time, we are not looking for a specific skill set but rather doing a large call out to interested individuals.

Please complete the YSpace Mentor application to help us better understand your background and assess the best fit with our programs. Once completed, a YSpace representative will be in touch to setup an introductory call.

If you have any questions on time or experience requirements, please reach out to Yspace and they’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Deadline to apply: March 14, 2022
