Activity details
Volunteering Activity Description:
Do you want to share your knowledge and experience with someone facing a professional challenge or seeking support and guidance regarding their career path? We want you with us!
We know you have valuable experiences and knowledge to share, to support another woman in becoming what she can and wants to become. If you feel you have the passion needed to guide other women in their professional journey, we invite you to become a mentor with the WHEN organization!
What is mentoring
The mentor helps the mentee clarify goals related to her professional development and organize a plan to achieve those goals, by sharing with her the experiences and knowledge she has gained throughout her own path. Essentially, she turns her own experience into a stepping stone, so her mentee can climb a little more easily, a little higher.
