Women Unlocked- Free mentoring opportunity available for young women aged 16-24 in North Yorkshire

This is a brand-new opportunity for young women & girls in North Yorkshire. The Women Unlocked Mentoring Programme (WUMP) will provide individual and group mentoring to support young women to reach their goals in education; careers; and beyond. 

Participants will also have the opportunity to work on a special campaign across the county to raise awareness of a gender equality or Violence Against Women & Girls (VAWG) issue that’s important to them. 

This project will focus on Gender Inequality, with mentees working in partnership with the Deputy Mayor; North Yorkshire Police; North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, Leaders Unlocked and women’s organisations to represent young people’s voices and ensure services meet their needs. 

We are particularly seeking applications from young women who have lived experience of gender inequality or VAWG. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop confidence and new skills; and set and achieve personal goals while tackling gender inequality. 

We would appreciate it if you could share the opportunity amongst your networks and encourage any eligible young person who you feel would benefit from this experience to apply. 

We have attached all the relevant documents, including the application form and information pack. They can also be accessed here: https://www.northyorkshire-pfcc.gov.uk/for-you/young-people/youth/women-unlocked-mentoring-programme/

 The application deadline is: Friday 28th February 2025
