SGP Feminist Co-Mentorship Program

The SGP Feminist Co-Mentorship Program was piloted in 2021-2022, in response to an area of expressed interest for many SGP Members and folks in our networks. Much of the research available on mentorship programming shows that there is greater interest in being mentored than serving as a mentee for someone. However, we believe that all of us have expertise and insights to share, no matter what our age or social location. So SGP piloted a ‘co-mentorship’ program that emphasizes solidarity and mutual exchange over a hierarchical or top-down approach.

A successful pilot round with some 30 participants all around the world prompted a second round, and SGP has a new cohort of Co-Mentors in the program for 2022-2023. 

You can receive occasional updates on the programming by following along in SGP’s monthly newsletter, or you can reach out to sgpcomentorship@gmail.com if you have any questions for us!
