Call For Applications: Umi Mentorship Program 2025 (4th Cohort)
The Umi Mentorship Program is one of the flagship products at Umi. It helps new mothers and mums of children below 3 years old become better versions of themselves as mothers, wives, partners and professionals by tapping into the wealth of knowledge, experiences and network of mothers who have walked this path of motherhood and have excelled at it.
They started the mentorship program in June 2023 for mothers interested in having successful careers without losing on the home front and have paired mothers from 12 African countries (Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. in Nigeria, South Africa and the United Kingdom) with experienced mentors who help them in their motherhood and professional journeys.
The program runs for three months. The next cohort will run from February to April, 2025. It is virtual. However, if you and your mentor hit it off greatly and choose to meet in person, the organisers will not stop you.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Are you an African mum living either in Africa or in the diaspora?
- Is your child between the ages 0-3 years?
- Do you want to be a better mum and professional?
- Are you interested in being paired with an experienced mum and professional who has walked familiar paths before?
Benefits:
- Pairing with an experienced mentor who is thriving in their professions and raising well-adjusted kids for a 3-month mentorship experience.
- Peer mentorship with 4 other mums in your Umi mini-circle. Consider them your personal board of advisors.
- Weekly workshops and reflection sessions focused on important areas of your mental and physical health, business and career, and relationships/family for the 12 weeks of the mentorship program.
