In our traditional mentorship program, we recommended three months to stay connected.

We are not providing strict guidelines on this. You may only chat a few times with your mentor. That’s fine. You might invite your mentee over for Thanksgiving. Do you. However short or long the connection is, it is OK.

While we still have the intention of connecting and elevating creative women of color, Charisa is for everyone. We will have many mentors over our lifetime, and we deserve to have access to anyone who can make a difference in our lives. This includes all races and genders.

Create your profile, and you’re all good for now! In the future, you’ll be able to disconnect from mentees once you make the connection. This will free you up for another person to match with you. Or, you can max out at five and will be unavailable for other matches.

We’re here for you! Send us a note at info@womenwhocreate.org

Our current community is comprised of mostly students and professionals in these industries. Right now our goal is to be able to provide everyone with a match! We hope that we will be able to expand our industry options in the future.

Typically, mentors have 5+ years of experience in their field and are passionate about giving back. Please only sign up if you intend to make time to meet with your mentee.

Mentees are typically juniors/seniors in college or have less than five years experience in their field.

This is not a strict list of requirements! Ultimately, it is up to the mentor to decide if they are a right fit for the match.

In Greek mythology, Charis is one of the Charites of “Graces,” goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, and human creativity.

Since we’re rooted in creativity as an organization, we felt it was fitting! Then we added an “a” at the end to make it our own.

No! It’s a web app, meaning a platform that we created on a web site.
