Become a mentor

The Girls’ Network Covid-19 2021 update: We have transitioned all our in-person mentoring programmes to virtual mentoring due to health and safety restrictions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. We look forward to returning to in-person mentoring, workshops and events when it is safe to do so. In the meantime therefore, please bear in mind that when applying to become a mentor you may be invited to a virtual training rather than an in-person one, and many of your mentoring sessions will take place online. You will be provided with appropriate guidelines, resources and support to have a productive, meaningful and impactful virtual mentoring journey with your mentee.

Please also be advised that while sessions are taking place virtually we are still making mentor-mentee matches locally, as we did before the pandemic. Our requirement is that you are based or work in one of our regions (London, Sussex, Portsmouth, the West Midlands, Greater Manchester, the North East, Tees Valley and Merseyside), and please do only apply in your region. You can do so by selecting it from the drop-down menu on the below application form. 

Finally please note that London isn’t currently taking applications but if you’re based in London and want to mentor please sign up to our waitlist HERE.


Are you

Able to relate well to others?

Good at working through problems?

Committed and reliable?

Able to provide insight from your personal experiences? 

Then mentoring could be for you!

Why mentor?

Mentoring is an amazing way to share your experience and skills with a girl that might not benefit from this support otherwise.

It is also a great way to show a teenage girl that you believe in her, and that she is worth investing time in. This is a powerful combination, and one that we have seen transform the lives of girls and young women again and again.

We are looking for women who have had experience of the workplace, who have time and willingness to support a girl from one of the least-advantaged communities across the country, and who want to support a girl to overcome obstacles and seize opportunities.

We ask our mentors for a commitment of at least one hour a month, over the course of the year.

The first step towards becoming a mentor is by clicking below and completing our mentor application form. Please read our helpful mentor application guide below to assist you with the application form.

If you are applying as an individual mentor, please follow the link below. If you work with one of our partner organisations then please speak to our contact person at your work about the next steps.
