Magnify Mentoring
Magnify Mentoring supports, inspires, and connects a global community of people who are motivated to have a positive impact with their careers and lives. Originally aimed exclusively at women, non binary and trans people of all genders, since starting in 2019, we have grown to a global network of over 500 community members, spanning thirty-five countries, and all inhabited continents. Following the success of our first two years, we are piloting projects to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of expanding our services to support more people with mentorship, particularly those from traditionally underrepresented groups.
