MENTOR APPLICATION FORM

Thank you for your interest in mentoring young women from Africa who have completed a year-long training with Cameras for Girls, a Canadian-based Charity dedicated to providing photography, ethical storytelling and business skills training to young women in Africa.

These young women face significant challenges, including limited opportunities and gender bias, as they strive to enter the male-dominated media industry. Your mentorship is crucial in helping them overcome these barriers and achieve their professional goals.

To proceed, please fill out the form below with your information, and we will contact you shortly. For more details about our organization and mission, please visit www.camerasforgirls.org.

We look forward to your partnership in empowering the next generation of women journalists, photojournalists, and photographers.
