The Process

Step by Step Guide

  1. 01

    Welcome as Assistant

    Successful candidates are welcomed as Assistants for two workshop cycles. We will match you with any available mentor and his/her respective workshop.

  2. 02

    Hands-On Experience

    Assistants gain hands-on experience supporting new participants and learning how an EmpowerHer workshop operates. They will learn about EmpowerHer's internal system, including training on how to check MIS applications, registration applications, communicate effectively, and lead online sessions.

  3. 03

    Design Your Workshop

    During these two workshop cycles, assistants design their own online workshops and prepare mentorship materials. All materials are subject to approval from EmpowerHer's Mentorship Program Director.

  4. 04

    Academic Demo Session

    Towards the end of Assistant training and the two month workshop cycle, assistants conduct a one and half hour long Academic Demo Session, mentoring a staff member (with their materials) to demonstrate their teaching and leadership skills.

  5. 05

    Promoted to Mentor

    After successfully completing the demo, Assistants are promoted to Mentor positions, officially joining the EmpowerHer Mentorship Program and mentoring many more Afghan girls.
