Mentorship Myths & Mistakes
summary
A year‑long mentorship program called Working Lunch pairs entry‑level women with core and guest mentors through workshops (context, freelancing, pitching, safety, salaries), one‑on‑ones and a handbook; it attracts 100 applicants for 10 spots, issues travel grants and graduation letters, and wins a $35,000 prize to expand cities. Tools include mentor onboarding one‑pagers and follow‑up worksheets; measured wins are clearer pitches, earnings plans, stronger networks, mentors reporting tangible learning, and plans for paid internships and wider inclusivity.
