We all have a need for insight that is outside of our normal life and educational experience. The power of mentoring is that it creates a one-of-a-kind opportunity for collaboration, problem solving, and goal achievement.

Created by a group of community leaders from Frederick, Maryland, Woman to Woman Mentoring (W2WM) is a local 501c3 non-profit whose mission is to cultivate mentoring relationships that provide women with guidance, support, and community connections.

Through its programming, W2WM strives to strengthen, enrich, and empower women by offering access to one-on-one mentoring relationships, group peer mentoring circles, social enterprise experiences, and community connections.

We are always accepting applications for volunteer mentors, who will work one-on-one with a specifically matched mentee for a six to ten months. This includes attending workshops one or twice per month and approximately 2-4 hours per month checking in with your mentee as needed.
