Mentors
Mentors have the opportunity to guide, advise and help further both the personal and professional development of a WEV graduate. Mentors help teach a woman "the ropes" of her industry, provide resources, networking opportunities, give encouragement and much more.
Mentoring options include: • One on one mentoring with a 6-month commitment
• "Mentoring Moments" with one or a small group of mentees
• Mentor Resource with brief questions by mentees on topics specific to your experience and skills

Alumni Volunteer Opportunities: • Assist in the WEV offices a few hours a week or a few hours a month • Help with special projects or mailings to our graduates and donors • Participate in annual event coordination
