MENTORSHIP TO INTERNSHIP 36 MENTORSHIP TO INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IAWF also provides a year-long Mentorship Program to empower youth in our community through direct interaction between a mentor and mentee. The program is designed for mentors with highly valued professional experience who provide expert guidance for the next generation of women. A strong commitment to the professional growth of their mentee is required, along with careful cultivation of a unique one-on-one relationship. Mentees build strong ties with mentors by sharing all aspects of their journeys, from the frustrations to the success stories. In this supportive and collaborative atmosphere, our Mentorship Program thrives by offering a refreshingly honest and grounded experience not found in most mentorship programs today. By utilizing diverse approaches grown out of trust and a common cultural heritage, a strong and unfaltering confidence is built in the young leader in training.
