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, and be able to commit to around one hour per month over a year for our 1-to-1 programme. Our 1-to-1 sessions happen in schools, outside of office hours. We also offer group mentoring and events and workshops, so if you can't commit to a full year, there maybe other ways to get involved.

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 Statement.

To enable us to carry out a satisfactory enhanced DBS check, you must have resided in the UK continuously for the past five years. We can accept applications from people who have spent time abroad, however if time abroad exceeds three months in the last 5 years, you will need to provide a Criminal Record Certificate from that country/s, at your own expense in addition to the standard DBS.
