CAWI’s Pairing Program

This project aims to provide first-generation immigrant women with a short-term mentoring opportunity from an immigrant woman in their field of interest! These mentors will be from fields including healthcare, law, business, arts, and many other professional fields.

We hope that this program creates more opportunity for immigrant women to participate in mentorship opportunities as well as gain access to a network where they can enhance their existing skills and develop new ones!

This is a great opportunity to build experience for your resume and CAWI will even provide recommendation letters to successful candidates.

What Our Mentees Have To Say

Participating in CAWI’s mentorship program that focused on my future career has been an immensely valuable and rewarding experience. The guidance and support my mentors have provided me over the past two years, has been eye-opening and invaluable. I had the opportunity to learn a lot about the career I would like to pursue in the future. Whether it was learning about the university application process, the student life and even a day in the life of a doctor, I was always kept engaged. This mentorship has not only guided me with my academic goals, has also taught me the lesson of how vital developing the right personal habits is, and how I should incorporate them into my life. My mentors have continuously supported me and motivated me throughout the mentorship. I truly enjoyed this experience, and coming out of it I have gained crucial knowledge on how to better myself and achieve my goals within the work field.
