Why we offer Mentoring for Black Women, Girls & POCs

Support with Systemic Barriers

Mentoring for Black women and girls is critically important due to the systemic barriers and limited opportunities they face in the job market. Black women and girls often encounter discrimination, bias, and underrepresentation in many industries, which can significantly hinder their career progression. Mentoring provides them with guidance, support, and role models who understand their unique challenges and can offer valuable insights and strategies for overcoming these obstacles. ​​​

Safe & Empowering Environment

The program creates a safe space where participants can freely discuss their challenges, experiences, and goals without fear of judgment. For Black women and girls, who frequently encounter unique challenges and biases in the job market, this empowering environment is crucial for building confidence and resilience. Being part of a community that understands their struggles and celebrates their successes can significantly enhance their personal and professional development. 

Tailored Support & Representation

The "Yes She Can" Mentoring Program is uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of Black women and girls and people of color, who often face significant barriers in the job market, including discrimination and underrepresentation. It provides tailored support and guidance from mentors who share similar experiences and backgrounds, fostering a deeper understanding and connection. This representation ensures that mentees see role models who look like them. 

Comprehensive Career Development

"Yes She Can" offers a holistic approach to career development, including resume/CV checks, interview preparation, job search strategies, and networking opportunities. Participants have access to additional resources and premium services that can greatly enhance their employability and career prospects. This comprehensive support system equips mentees with the skills and connections needed to succeed in traditionally male-dominated industries like technology, media, and politics, helping them overcome the systemic barriers that often hinder their progress in the job market.
