BRING MENTOR WALKS
TO YOUR CITY
We’re granting 5 local leaders the opportunity to launch Mentor Walks in their city in 2026.
Make mentoring accessible to the women of your city, help them get guidance from senior women and build their connections to move forward. By launching Mentor Walks in your city you will become part of a global network that spans five countries, and is growing rapidly.
We’re looking for passionate, well-connected champions of female leadership. You’ll become a licensee, launch and lead your city’s walks and help create an inclusive, supportive space where every woman is welcome and empowered.

“Mentor Walks has created something very powerful in our city. It’s not just the impact on individual women—who walk away more confident and clear, but the way it’s helping to build a stronger, more connected community of women who are lifting each other up.
