Mentors Sign Up Form - Pre-register for 2023

The Nawaya Network, under UNICEF’s Generation of Innovation Leaders, GIL, program, works with underprivileged youth by providing them with entrepreneurship training. Since the launch of the program in 2016, we have launched over 1,075 micro-business across Beirut, Mount Lebanon, and the South.

A mentoring relationship is one where a mentor shares his or her specialized experience and knowledge with a mentee in order to empower and motivate them. This relationship benefits the mentee by providing him or her with professional advice and strategies that will help them achieve their professional goals. An entrepreneur has no boss that they can turn to for direction, having a mentor can help provide them with a new perspective that they can learn from.

Nawaya runs two types of mentoring:

Group Townhall Sessions:

You will get a chance to offer your expertise to a group of beneficiaries over Zoom. Youth usually request support in marketing, sales, online sales, legal advice, business accounting; budgeting, finance, digital media, or technical support with their product (software, hardware, etc…). 

If you have skills that you can offer that are not mentioned below, please feel free to add as we are always looking for new ways to help our beneficiaries

One-on-One Sessions:

You will be linked to a youth for a session and are expected to support the youth with your knowledge and expertise around a specific topic.

Mentor criteria:

Must have a minimum of 3 years of experience in the topic of choice to be able to assist youth

If you would like to give back to your community by guiding youth and sharing your expertise, fill out the form below and we will be in contact soon with further details!
