About HP Foundation and Sky’s the Limit

Learn more about the value and importance of mentoring and how you can get involved.

HP Foundation

The HP Foundation has partnered with Sky’s the Limit to help support thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs from communities traditionally underrepresented in entrepreneurship to launch successful businesses.  

We believe that every person, regardless of their circumstances, should be able to chase – and achieve – their business dreams. 

Through our collaboration, HP volunteers will have the chance to participate in virtual skills-based volunteering: bringing their passion, skills, and knowledge to support entrepreneurs around the world and contribute to HP’s goal to accelerate digital equity for 150 million people by 2030.

Mentor Training Sessions

Optional 1:1 and Group Training Sessions are available every second Tuesday of every month at 12:00 pm - 1:00 EST.

Please schedule via Calendly.

Upcoming Mentor Training Session Dates:

2022: November 8, December 6

2023: January 10, February 7

To request a different time, please email us at HPSupport@skysthelimit.org

Impact Teams

Impact Teams

All our volunteers have the opportunity to have a transformative and deeply rewarding mentoring experience. Our Impact Teams model takes this a step further by combining the camaraderie of a charity run or walk with the ease and flexibility of remote volunteering.

Sky’s the Limit’s staff works with our corporate partners to recruit Team Leads who recruit and support a team of their colleagues to volunteer through our platform.
