Global Women Connect Mentoring Programme 2026/2027

Finding Your North Star: The Global Women Connect Mentoring Programme

You know that feeling when you have a clear vision for your career or your community impact, but you’re missing the roadmap to actually get there? This program isn’t for the person looking for a quick LinkedIn connection or a rubber-stamp certificate; it’s for the professional who is ready to be challenged by a peer-level mentor and who has enough self-awareness to know that learning is a two-way street.

What You Get

  • A 9 to 12-month structured mentoring relationship.
  • A reciprocal learning environment where you contribute as much as you gain.
  • Dedicated support for personal and professional development goals.
  • Access to a network of like-minded women focused on growth and sustainable impact.

Eligibility Snapshot

This is a global initiative, but the organizers are specific about their priorities. They are actively looking for participants who can demonstrate a commitment to their personal development and who fit within the program’s focus on mutual exchange. While the application is open to a global audience, priority is given to candidates in specific regions—make sure you check the official portal to see if your location aligns with their current priority zones for 2026/2027.

How to Apply

Don't overcomplicate this. Start by visiting the official application portal linked at the bottom of this page. You’ll need to provide details about your background, your current professional or community involvement, and—most importantly—what you intend to bring to the table as a mentee or mentor. Be specific about the goals you want to hit during that 9-to-12-month window; vague aspirations like "I want to grow" usually go straight to the bottom of the pile.

One Honest Tip

Here is the truth that most applicants miss: this program is explicitly designed as a "two-way learning relationship." When you write your application, stop framing yourself as someone who just wants to be taught. If you act like a student waiting for a lecture, you’ve already lost. Instead, highlight the specific experiences, perspectives, or technical skills you bring to the partnership. The best pairings in this program happen when the mentor learns as much from the mentee as the other way around. Prove that you are a contributor, not just a consumer of knowledge.

Deadline

You must have your application submitted by October 16, 2026.
