Frequently Asked Questions
What's in it for me?
Being a mentor, both informally and formally, is an incredible opportunity to share knowledge and lessons that you’ve learned in your journey and to help others following a similar path to navigate it successfully. Not only does ‘passing it forward’ feel good, it is also an opportunity to grow your own network.
Do I get paid for my time?
At this time, the Women of Steel™ Mentorship Network is calling for Mentors to volunteer their time. For this role, however, you will be rewarded in knowing that you are making a difference and helping someone succeed by sharing your own your journey.
What can I expect as a Mentor?
The Women of Steel™ Mentorship Network is hosted on an interactive Mentorship software platform designed for mentoring, with a directory of Mentors and Mentees, as well as opportunities for Mentees to book sessions and connect with Mentors. Based on your availability, Mentees will be able to book mentorship sessions with you over the phone or video call. There may be other opportunities to share your story through a Mentor Spotlight series.
