Woman to Woman Mentors

The mentoring relationship is at the heart of our Woman to Woman program. WtW mentors are professional women who are individually paired with a participant for at least one year. They are motivated by their:

• Commitment to the mission of the program
• Desire to teach and learn in a mentor-participant relationship

The responsibilities of a WtW mentor are to:

• Help the participant establish realistic career goals
• Model independence, responsibility and professionalism
• Offer support and guidance with professional challenges
• Support the participant's career development and growth
• Teach problem solving skills
• Network professionally for Woman to Woman

Some requirements include:

• 1-2 hours per week with participant (flexible schedule)
• Some telephone availability
• Attendance at mentor support workshops

Mentors can expect to work with participants in a variety of ways:

• Assist the participant with her resume and interview skills
• Provide job shadowing opportunities
• Assist with college research and application process
