The perks of being a Moonshot Pirate mentor

Tap into the pool of future talents & possible business partners. Connect with other mentors from all over the world.

Leaders are those who empower others. Become a better leader by helping young people realize their potential.

Get to know innovative methods and tools. Explore with us the topics of innovation, personal development and entrepreneurship.

Join us either online or on-site during our bootcamps and events. We give you the flexibility to set your own schedule.

Selection process of a Moonshot Pirate mentor

After the initial contact with a potential mentor, either once they apply through our website or get recommended to us otherwise, we enter the qualification stage. In order to get to know potential mentors better, two of our crew members have a call with them to understand their background and see whether our values are aligned. This is also an opportunity to answer any questions and see which of our programs are a good fit for them. As our mentors work with minors, we also require them to submit a police record prior to our cooperation.

THIS IS EXCITING

We are so happy you want to become a Moonshot Pirates Mentor and support the next generation of leaders with your knowledge and expertise. Please tell us a bit about yourself and why you want to become a mentor.
