AWAU's flagship mentoring program for African women by African women is now open for 2025!

Are you interested in developing your skills and the skills of the next generation to come? African Women Australia Inc. is looking for people to join our new inaugural Future on Fire Mentoring Program as mentors and mentees!

AWAU's mentoring program is dedicated to supporting African women across Australia in the career, wellbeing and social development. Our program provides tailored and community-centred mentoring support and networking opportunities to help our mentees achieve their professional goals and thrive into the future!

Mentoring is a powerful liberating and advancing tool that can support African women uniquely and open doors to expanded networks and transformative experiences. Emerging and established professionals are vital to co-building, co-creating, and co-shaping the communities and workplaces we live in. The Future On Fire Mentoring Program will connect emerging leaders and established leaders from across each state and territory, giving them skills, guidance and opportunities.
