Become a Mentor & Impact a Woman's Life TODAY!

Women who grew up in foster care rarely have anyone they can turn to for support and guidance. Many navigate the world without the skills, knowledge, or guidance that most of us received growing up at home. The adversities our population has faced vary from being unhoused, incarcerated, and/or survivors of gender-based violence. For some, their adversity has made them stronger.

50/50 Leadership offers a series of financial literacy workshops called Money 101 that provide a basic set of financial skills for managing money. Upon completion of Money 101, we offer our members the opportunity to enroll in a 9-month mentorship relationship to help further their ability to stay on track and to reach their desired goals.

You do not need to be a financial expert - while mentees may be looking for accountability in budgeting, if you have had some success managing your own finances over time, we encourage you to apply. We ask that our mentors are at least 30 years old. We will provide training and resources for our mentors. Mentors are expected to complete an activity log after each session with a mentee. The time commitment is no more than 2 hours per month, and one 90-minute training session annually.

This is your opportunity to make a very real difference in a woman’s life. This is an opportunity to listen compassionately, offer guidance and cheer them on. You will be an accountability partner to a woman who needs your support.

If you are interested and qualify, please email us at volunteers@5050leadership.org and we will send you an application and set up a time to answer your questions and fill you in with all the details.
