Mentorship Program - Mentor Application

We are recruiting women who currently work in finance and financial services to mentor, motivate, and inspire Invest in Girls students through our Mentorship Program. Mentors should have two or more years of experience in the finance industry.

Mentorship program participants will be girls in 11th or 12th grades or may be Invest in Girls alumnae at the beginning of college. All potential mentees have indicated an interest in pursuing a career in finance.

As a mentor, you will talk with your mentee on about topics including:

  • How you became interested in the field
  • Your course of study in college/graduate school
  • Your early career experiences
  • Advice on building a network
  • Advice on applying for internships and jobs
  • Opportunities available in the field

We ask mentors to commit to the following:

  • Attend two meetings each month:
  • A 1:1 meeting with your mentee (held via Zoom or another video call)
  • A facilitated meeting with the full group of mentors and mentees (also held via Zoom)
  • Respond to all emails from the IIG program staff—your input matters!
  • After each monthly facilitated meeting, please take a moment to fill out a quick form to share your thoughts.
  • Consider sharing your support for your mentee by writing a Letter of Recommendation once the program concludes

Program Duration: February 2026 to May 2026.

Facilitated sessions with IIG will take place virtually on Tuesdays from 4-5 PM ET or 7-8 PM ET on February 24, March 24, April 14 and May 19.

The second monthly session will be a 1:1 meeting with your mentee. Invest in Girls will provide a monthly prompt for your 1:1 meeting with your mentee. You will be able to use this as an opportunity to start a conversation and to help your mentee learn practical knowledge and skills about herself and for the workforce. We hope that you will be able to help them grow throughout the program and beyond!

We may schedule a short phone call with you to learn more about you and your interest in the program.

Mentors will be selected according to responses to the questionnaire, credentials, and program needs. There is no guarantee that all who apply will be chosen as a mentor.

All applications are due by Wednesday, January 14th, 2026. Thank you for your interest in the program!
