·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Connect with the University, MV Sandbox E For All&nbsp;and community entrepreneurial ecosystems
They anticipate that the number of students engaged in the DifferenceMaker™ Program and related activities will increase each year. As they encourage and reward the formation of various types of student ventures and projects, the need for mentors who can consult with student teams will increase. They plan to guide these students and track their progress through a professional Mentor Program. The UMass Lowell Mentor Program will provide a committed network of mentors with a broad set of skills and professional experiences, who can assist UMass Lowell entrepreneurs in developing the knowledge and skills, needed to grow an idea into a successful, new venture.

=== '''E For All (Formerly Merrimack Valley Sandbox (MV Sandbox)''' ===
The&nbsp;Merrimack Valley Sandbox&nbsp;'E for All' is a project of the&nbsp;Deshpande Foundation, which has encouraged the use of entrepreneurship and innovation as catalysts for sustainable change in the United States, India and Canada since 1996. Deshpande supported centers including the&nbsp;MIT Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation, the Deshpande Center for Social Innovation&nbsp;in Hubli, India, the Pond-Deshpande Centre&nbsp;at the&nbsp;University of New Brunswick, and our own Merrimack Valley Sandbox 'E For All' &nbsp;at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The MV Sandbox 'E for All' includes higher education partners (Middlesex Community College, Merrimack College and Northern Essex Community College) and a host of regional community and business partners.
'''MV Sandbox E for All Mission'''
The mission of the MV Sandbox 'E For All' is to connect and strengthen the ecosystem in Lowell and Lawrence, Massachusetts, around entrepreneurship and leadership. This mission is supported by the following three principle MV Sandbox 'E For All' programs:
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Catalysts-The Catalyst program provides seed funding and mentoring support to foster initiative around new ideas and programs among local high school and college students.
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Entrepreneurship-The Entrepreneur Program is a community-wide initiative supporting entrepreneurship. More than 30 partner organizations and institutions are participating in this initiative,&nbsp;which gives entrepreneurs a greater chance at success through pitch contests, workshops and intensive programs.&nbsp;
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Leadership-The Sandbox 'E For All' Leadership Institute (SLI) offers leadership development for individuals that live, work or are interested in the communities of Lawrence and Lowell.&nbsp;
