Mentors FAQ

1. I am interested in becoming a mentor. What are a mentor's responsibilities? How can I get involved?

LIVESTRONG Challenge mentors are dedicated volunteers with proven fundraising knowledge and success, who support and encourage Challenge participants with their personal fundraising projects and goals. Each mentor will have participated for at least one year in the LIVESTRONG Challenge series, will communicate regularly via email with mentees in their assigned geographic region, and will represent the Lance Armstrong Foundation at local events within their community. Mentors will attend a training weekend in Austin prior to beginning his or her mentor duties. If this sounds like a good fit with your skills and motivations, please check back December 1, 2008 to apply to become a mentor for the 2009 LIVESTRONG Challenge Series.
