MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Virtual
As part of WIA’s mission of dismantling roadblocks encountered by people of underrepresented gender identities in our industries, the WIA Mentorship program is presented in a virtual format to connect more creatives from more corners of the world.
Small Circles
WIA Circles are typically composed of one mentor working with a cohort of six to 10 mentees to ensure a more personalized, directly connected experience.
Duration
There are two Mentorship Program rounds/cycles per year (each lasts four months):
Spring (April to July)
Fall (October to January)
Eligibility
Any active WIA member at the Creator level or higher may apply. The current policy is that you can be part of a circle once every two years. The eligibility timeframes are listed here for your convenience:
