Opportunitiess for Volunteer Mentors at The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women

---

Based in London with a global reach, the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women is run by a dedicated team overseen by a board of trustees.


The charity was set up in 2008 in response to Cherie’s experiences meeting women around the world and the realisation that, with the right support, women can overcome the challenges they face and play an important part in the economies and societies in which they work and live.

Our mission is to provide women with the skills, technology, networks and access to capital that they need to become successful small and growing business owners, so that they can contribute to their economies and have a stronger voice in their societies.

Job description

Become a mentor to a woman entrepreneur in a developing or emerging economy! By giving just two hours a month, you could support a pioneering woman as she takes her business, skills and confidence to the next level.  At the same time, you’ll gain a fresh perspective, use your skills in a new way, broaden your networks and build a potentially life-changing relationship.  The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women’s Mentoring Women in Business Programme is an innovative scheme where women entrepreneurs from over 80 countries work online with a mentor for one year to achieve key business goals. 
 
Mentors can be both men and women.  They need just two hours a month and a passion for supporting a woman entrepreneur.  Over the course of a year, you’ll meet with your mentee online for two hours a month to work on goals that are tailored to her needs and your expertise and interests.  There are participants from diverse sectors and on board, so chances are there is a mentee who could benefit from your expertise and background.  The programme is conducted in English, but we are also looking for mentors who speak both English and Spanish for a special sub-project in our May 2016 intake.
 
How to Apply
 Please go to www.cherieblairfoundation.org/mentoring-get-involved to complete your online application and get started.

Apply before 28 March 2016 to join the May 2016 intake of this programme.
