In February 2026, She Inspires Egypt launched a comprehensive mentorship programme designed to connect Women in STEAM fields with experienced mentors who can guide their career development and professional growth.
The Programme offers two types of mentorship: one-to-one mentoring and group-based peer mentorship.
Group mentoring is organised by a group facilitator; this person is a peer mentor with additional responsibilities for organising the group (e.g. by arranging meetings).
Programme participants are selected based on their level of interest and commitment, as demonstrated through their application. We aim to match mentors and mentees based on areas of expertise, the skills and knowledge they wish to develop, and other practical considerations
If you are selected for the Mentorship Programme, you should expect to commit to:
Regular meetings with your mentor or mentee – once a month at the minimum
Involvement with the whole cohort, including contributing to Slack discussions on the Mentorship channel and attending cohort video calls
To leave a legacy to support other geospatial women+. For example, by completing a project of your choosing or recording a video testimonial.
Actively participate in the Programme until its end in July 2027
Applications for our 2026 program are now open.
