Training and Empowering Youth for a Future in Technology
Become an E1T1 Mentor
Mentors are volunteers who are trained coders and technologists who study or work in the field. They agree to train at least one mentee, at least once a week, for at least one hour. They may help onsite or remotely, from anywhere in the world. They support learners using the automated online curricula, and help learners build confidence and find jobs. If you are interested in mentoring, please contact us. Please indicate if you have any preference for level of learner or geographical area, or no preference.

One hour a week for six weeks is all it takes to be a *Star!* for a lifetime
We seek volunteer mentors to work remotely with students to help them with questions about their lessons, job search, or first job, encourage them, and share your stories about trying to break into the technology field. Help out for one hour a week, for six weeks. Your contribution will be remembered for a lifetime.
Welcome to E1T1, a global technology and engineering education and workforce development nonprofit that empowers individuals, girls and teams to become leaders, creators, and problem-solvers and gain employment in technology. We are delighted to extend the opportunity for you to share your expertise, be a role model, inspire and support an intern or team to tackle real-world problems.
E1T1 equips individuals of all ages with the skills to become tech workers, entrepreneurs and leaders. With the support of volunteer mentors, interns work in teams to code, build websites, and build mobile and other applications that address real-world problems they’ve identified. The program runs from June - July.
Join us and find the right volunteer opportunity for you!

Mentorship
Do you want to volunteer as a mentor? Here are the eligibility details:
Do mentors need to know how to code before starting E1T1?
E1T1 challenges participants to solve a problem by learning coding, website building, photography, videography and other tech skills and practicing them for nonprofits and other organizations with limited budgets. To register as a mentor, it's not necessary to have knowledge of coding and/or app builders but it can reduce the time commitment if you are already familiar.
All that mentors need to have is a willingness to learn alongside the girls and help them through a 20+ hour problem-solving process. Registered mentors can also complete an online training to learn more about coding app builders and other components of the program.
What information is gathered for the mentor background check?
To register as a mentor in the USA, we ask that volunteers comply to a background check. This is to ensure the safety of our young participants. We use Checkr.io to run a Name/DOB/SSN verification in addition to a county and nation criminal search. All mentors who have consented to background checks can request copies and check their status at checkr.io by clicking “My background check.”
E1T1 also reserves the right to complete randomized background checks on mentors outside of the USA.
E1T1 requires that all volunteers 18 years of age and older, and any individual who may have direct and unmonitored contact with children, including any individual who regularly provides school related transportation to children, undergo a CORI check. A “CORI check” is an individual’s submission of his/her completed CORI Request Form to the program in accordance with this Policy. All volunteers are asked to submit to a CORI check and are required to fill out a CORi acknowledgement form.
Where can I find the volunteer code of conduct and safety policy?

- You need to set up communication channels between yourself and students that include the parents.
- All communication mentors have with students must be monitored by the parent or teacher. You can create a messaging group that includes mentor, parent, and the teacher.
- We do not recommend that mentors exchange phone numbers with students. Instead, teams can communicate via online monitored communications or in sessions with other adults present.
- Mentors should never be alone with only one student.
- Mentors should never message a student privately via social media or texting.
- Mentors should never accompany your team alone. A teacher or guardian must accompany team on field-trips or workshops.
Is there other information I should know?
- If you'd like, you can mentor more than 1 team
- Mentoring a team is a time commitment. We suggest planning to spend time hours supporting your team each week.
