The Girls’ Network aims to inspire and empower girls aged 14-19 from the least advantaged backgrounds by connecting them to a mentor and a network of professional female role models.
We ask mentors to commit to 10 sessions across the course of a year to conduct 1:1 mentoring sessions.
Minimum requirements for mentors:
- At least 3 years professional experience
- Submit an application via The Girls' Network website (link above)
- Attend a 3 hour virtual training event
- Contribute £25 towards a DBS check
- Commitment to 10 (1 hour when in person) 1:1 sessions across the course of a year
At the moment, our sessions are all virtual and the 1 hour time commitment is not applicable.
Benefits of becoming a mentor:
- Join a nationwide network of inspiring, professional women
- Professional development
- Opportunity to join workshops / events
