The Rise Women Mentorship Program connects women across Southern Utah for a five-month experience built around genuine relationships, shared growth, and meaningful exchange. Applications are now open for our inaugural January through May 2027 cohort.
The best mentorship relationships are not one-sided. They are built on trust, shared experience, honest conversation, and a willingness to learn from one another.
At Rise Women, we believe mentorship is not about doing the work for someone else. It is about walking alongside another woman, sharing what you have learned, opening new perspectives, and encouraging meaningful steps forward.
A mentor brings perspective, experience, and lessons learned. A mentee brings curiosity, fresh perspective, her own lived experience, and a willingness to take action. Both women have something to offer, and both have something to gain.

You are ready to grow, gain perspective, and take meaningful action with someone in your corner.

You are ready to use your experience to make a meaningful difference in another woman’s life, while remaining open to what you may learn along the way.
