Volunteer Oromo Speakers

About this opportunity

We aim to create a relaxed environment where all our members feel comfortable and supported. We would be grateful to have your assistance in building connections so that everyone feels part of the conversation.

The Be Hers Mentoring Program provides a safe haven, opportunities, and the essential skills needed to be a beacon of hope for refugee, migrant, and at-risk women who have been robbed of their freedom and dignity.

Through unwavering support and mentorship, we can empower these brave and beautiful women to rise above the threats of slavery and exploitation. Together, we will build their confidence, hone their skills, and equip them with the tools and strategies they need to thrive both economically and in their health and wellbeing.

By supporting women in their pursuit of fulfilling and meaningful employment, we are helping to create a more equal and just society where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
