Following a successful online peer-to-peer we.grow mentoring programme in 2020, shesaid.so and keychange have relaunched the we.grow mentoring programme, which will run June 2021 - September 2021.

Recognising the need for more traditional mentoring to help guide Keychange participants through this difficult time, today shesaid.so and Keychange launch a call-out for senior music industry professionals and artists to volunteer as mentors for the Keychange participants.

The mentors must have a minimum of seven-years experience in the music industry, and will be paired with one of the exceptional, hand-picked Keychange participants all chosen as the leaders of tomorrow by a panel of international industry experts.

If you would like to volunteer to be a we.grow mentor, you can apply now through Keychange and shesaid.so’s google form. They welcome applications from all genders, all backgrounds, and all countries.
