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 sessions per year โ Spring (April to July) and Fall (October to January) โ each lasts four months.
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:
