Mentoring Become 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? good at working through problems? committed and reliable? able to support to your mentee for at least 1 hour a month for 12 months? committed to safeguarding the welfare of the girls we work with? living, working or willing to travel to one of the regions we work in? If the answer is yes, then mentoring with The Girls' Network could be for you! Apply to become a mentor Please read our application guide before applying. 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. You can read our child protection policy here. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by email - [email protected] If you are applying to be a mentor with one of our partner organisations then please speak to your organisation's TGN contact to find out how to apply through your partnership scheme. 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 a year. The first step towards becoming a mentor is by completing our mentor application form. Please read our helpful mentor application guide below to assist you with the application form. We encourage mentor applications from people who identify as having come from a low-income household (perhaps eligible for free school meals at school/college), care leavers and women of colour. If you do not identify as being from one of these groups we still welcome your application and look forward to hearing from you. Read our child protection policy here.
