NYC-based Volunteer Advisors for Small Businesses

*Note: While this is a virtual volunteer opportunity, we ask volunteers to be based in the NYC area to optimize networking opportunities, which happen in-person**

NYPACE connects growth-ready entrepreneurs with a team of volunteer advisors to work on a dedicated project that will support their business. Entrepreneurs leave our program with tangible materials, strategies, and documents that will propel their growth or stabilize their current business. We are always seeking to expand our volunteer pool and are looking for skilled volunteers who are passionate about problem-solving and are looking to be in a cohort with like-minded individuals.

You'll use your skillset over the course of 8-weeks and work alongside a team of 2-3 others to deliver results for the entrepreneur. You will join a network of hundreds of volunteers who come from top financial firms and other institutions and our volunteers have mentioned that this is a great resume-building and networking opportunity.

We have five of these 8-week cohorts per year so you are welcome to return for another project or wait for one that aligns better with your schedule!

You would make a great advisor if you:

• Are able to commit 2.5 hours a week for 8 weeks
• Are comfortable with a full virtual setting
• Have expertise in at least one of the following skills: Finance & Budget, Business Development, Strategic Planning & Analysis, and/or Marketing & Communications
• Want to make an immediate impact in the New York small business community
• Know how to ask good questions
• Have a high EQ and cultural competency
• Are comfortable with ambiguity
• Know that the best teams work because the people trust each other
