How do I become a mentor?

Mentors are women who have experience in running a business or nonprofit and are willing to commit 3 to 4 months to one of the women in our program. Mentors and mentees meet once or twice a month during this time. A brief mentor training is provided, along with a schedule of hoped for outcomes for the time period. The mentor program is an integral part of the Beloved Woman experience and explores the old saying, “when one person teaches, two learn.” It truly is a shared learning and growth experience. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, simply contact our President, Sherry Cothran via email at belovedwomanchattanooga@gmail.com or call our office at 423-402-0276.

How do I volunteer?

We need volunteers to help with fundraisers, administrative duties, events and recruitment. If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact our office at 423-402-0276 or email at belovedwomanchattanooga@gmail.com
