Please refer to the Eligibility Criteria
We won’t be offering an honorarium or stipend. You can expect to grow as an equitable leader by participating in our uniquely designed orientation and program that embeds a racial and gender equity lens, grow your professional network, and learn about the unique experience of early-career Indigenous, Black, and racialized women. Most importantly, together we are building a community with and for Indigenous, Black, and racialized women, and using our social capital to help them advance as future leaders in business and STEM.
The Mentor application includes a combination of basic demographic, applicant profile and open-ended questions to better understand your background, experience and perspectives about our mission, mentorship and active allyship, and commitment to advancing Fellows in their career development and goals.
Mentors will be selected based on alignment with our program goals and needs of our Fellows. If we are not able to find a suitable match or role within our Fellowship Circle, we will keep your details in our database for future cohorts. We appreciate your generosity and interest in our programming!
The Fellowship Circle will run virtually over 10-weeks, January – March 2026. We require that Mentors commit to attending a minimum of six sessions including Orientation, four Group Mentorship Circles and the Wrap Up Event.
AHF’s Fellowship Circle runs once per year, with the next in Winter 2026.
Absolutely. We welcome Mentors who are passionate about our mission and making an active difference in the careers and lives of our Fellows.
We’d love that. You can email us at info@accelerateherfuture.com or go to the Partner With Us page to submit a message.
