The Boulevard Experience

What are the problems Boulevard is solving for?

Companies and organizations across industries are all asking the same question: How do we find diverse talent who will strengthen our workforce?

At the same time, talented University and even high school students are searching for career opportunities that match their interests and skills.  They are looking for the human connection points who will guide them and open doors for them.

At Boulevard, we provide the connections, the network, and the intersections that bring these two groups together. 

What makes us different is that we use tech-enabled mentoring to solve these challenges.

The Boulevard Mentor Experience

CORE Mentor Experience

Weekly: Communicate in-app with your mentee, 15 minutes a week on your own schedule. Asynchronous communication and measurable impact.

Monthly: Join a live video call with your mentee and the team of mentors facilitated by a FIVE staff member. 

On Your Own Schedule: Based on your interests, make an impact by leading or joining a mentor master class on a subject of your choice with the entire network. Join a local in-person “Only at FIVE” Network event. Engage in our regular, friendly network competitions such as March Madness and The Summer Cup.

The VIP Mentor Experience

Executives and professionals from within the organization meet virtually (or in some cases in-person) with small, curated groups of mentees. These 50 minute sessions are facilitated, focus on a topic of expertise, and center upon the VIP mentor’s life experiences, path, and passions.

The idea is simple, one-to-many micro mentor sessions to expose, excite, and educate.

Examples include celebrities like Kenan Thompson and Bret Baier, luminaries like South Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Donald Beatty and business executives from numerous industries.
