Applications are now open for the 4th cohort of the Umi Mentorship Program 2025. The Umi Mentorship Program is one of Umi’s flagship products.
It assists new mothers and mothers of children under the age of three in becoming better versions of themselves as mothers, wives, partners, and professionals by tapping into the wealth of knowledge, experiences, and network of mothers who have successfully navigated the path of motherhood.
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.
Benefits
Every new mum selected for the Umi Mentorship Program will benefit from the following:
- 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.
