Organizations Pay for Mentoring, Individuals Don't: The Real Numbers
Mentoring is culturally understood as something given, not sold — so this plan is built on the buyer who actually writes a check: a company, college, nonprofit or government program that needs a mentoring scheme designed, matched, trained and proven, and has nobody in-house to do it. It walks through the $1,500 to $12,000 pricing tiers, the design-document-then-training sales sequence, and an honest 90-day plan built around the single question “who built your mentoring program and what did it cost?”

Built From Real Numbers
Startup costs run $750 to $1,100 in the first year, almost entirely professional liability (E&O) insurance at $30 to $60 a month and general liability at about $32 a month. Licensing is none in Kansas or Maryland for adult workplace mentoring, though background-check and child-protection rules attach the moment minors are involved.
The plan prices three tiers: a $1,500 to $3,000 design document alone, a recommended $5,000 to $12,000 tier bundling design with mentor training and a measurement framework, and a $2,000 to $4,000 a month tier for running the whole program for a year. It also gives the honest assessment: this is the weakest revenue model in the series on its own, and works best as a second offer to a client who already bought something else from you.
