How Assisterhood works
FAQs
Applying for Assisterhood
Fill out a mentee application here. You’ll be asked a few questions about yourself and your professional journey so we have the best chance at matching you with the right mentor. Be yourself, show your personality – and remember, this isn’t a job application! Vulnerability is encouraged. The process takes about fifteen to twenty minutes.
We’re committed to ensuring Assisterhood is inclusive and accessible to people of all backgrounds, diverse perspectives, identities, and abilities.
Our goal is to create a supportive, respectful and welcoming environment for people who share these values.
We encourage people of all unique perspectives and underrepresented groups to apply. We acknowledge there is not an exhaustive list, but we can strive to continually expand our definition of it. Intersectionality is an extremely complex topic and we are always open to improving our understanding and the inclusivity of Assisterhood. Please reach out if you have any thoughts, feedback, or questions on this.
We recognise the unique strengths and skills that people with diverse backgrounds and experiences offer – we also recognise how limited real representation is in many roles and fields.
A great quote that sparked the idea of Assisterhood is “You can’t be what you can’t see.” and it still rings true today.
