Mentorship
Gimlet is providing free mentorship for BIPOC podcast creators. Learn more and apply below.
At Gimlet, we believe in creating a platform for underrepresented voices.
In order to elevate diverse voices in podcasting and audio, and as part of a broader commitment to diversity in the audio space, we are offering free informational and training sessions for creators who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).
The Gimlet mentorship program is intended to provide more than one-off consultation. We intend to build long-term, relationships and guidance between working professionals and those seeking to advance in the field.
Our relationship with mentees is for the sole benefit of the mentee and not for Gimlet. No work will be done by mentees on the behalf of Gimlet.
