Interested in becoming a mentor?

At The Girls' Network, we understand that 'you can't be what you can't see'. So we want to find relatable, real-life role models for girls and young women to act as their mentors.

Are you...

• able to relate well to others?
• committed and reliable?
• passionate about the rights of girls and young women to reach their true potential?

If the answer is yes, then mentoring with The Girls' Network could be for you! 

To be a mentor you'll need to have at least 3 years professional experience, be living or willing to travel to one of the regions we work in, be able to commit to around one hour per month over a year, and have been a resident of the UK for the past 5 years*.

We are committed to safer recruitment and seek mentors who share our commitment to safeguarding and child protection. Our application process involves numerous checks to ensure suitability for working with children and young people. Please read our Code of Conduct and Safeguarding Policy

*We are currently unable to accept applications from anyone who has lived outside of the UK during the last 5 years as we do not have the capacity to process the additional security checks that this requires. This aspect of our recruitment policy is under review and we hope to be in a position to change this in the future. 

The application process

For full guidance, a role description and more information about what mentoring involves please read our application guide.
