Join Our Community of Extraordinary Business Leaders

Part of the unique value that AWEC provides to our Fellows is thanks to the global network of business professionals who share our commitment to uplifting women entrepreneurs throughout Africa. There are several ways that individuals who are passionate about women’s economic empowerment and entrepreneurship can get involved. Below are three ways to volunteer your time with AWEC and if you have an idea that is not included below, please contact us at comms@weareawec.org to share your suggestion.

Mentor an Entrepreneur

 

Each year, 40 carefully selected professionals from around the world volunteer their time to mentor several AWEC Fellows for one year. Both mentors and mentees gain significant benefit from these relationships as they navigate business challenges together. Contact us to be considered for our next group of mentors.

 
 

Share Your Knowledge

 

If you know what it takes to scale an enterprise in Africa, particularly in this digital age, we would love to hear from you. We collaborate with expert speakers throughout the year who are interested in sharing their knowledge and experiences with our Fellows. We’d love to hear from you
