Many LebNet communities are planning Mentorship Programs aimed to empower aspiring Lebanese professionals, entrepreneurs, and students to unlock their full potential, foster growth, and create a brighter future for individuals seeking guidance and knowledge.

As an integral part of our ongoing Giving Tuesday campaign, we kindly invite you to contribute a donation. Your support will play a crucial role in providing resources for mentorship pairings, broadening outreach to connect more mentors and mentees, and creating opportunities for personal and professional growth and success.

Invest in the future of Lebanese in Tech.
