What our Volunteers say

"It’s been five years of mentoring four incredible women and helping amplify their honest, homegrown businesses. I say mentoring, but honestly, they’ve taught me far more about resilience and tenacity than I could ever teach them about Canva and costing. So grateful to the team at Rise & Thrive. It's been an honour."
- Priyanka Chand Agarwal
“Volunteering with Her Rise Above has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Supporting my mentee to navigate challenges and celebrate small victories reminded me how meaningful guidance can be. The training, ongoing support from the HRA team, and personal check-ins made me feel valued as a volunteer. I hope my experience inspires others to join this journey and make a difference in someone’s life.”
- Puren Ozbay
“I loved collaborating with Her Rise Above as a volunteer. There is nothing more rewarding for me than giving back with my knowledge and time. Supporting other women to grow their businesses has been a true gift not only because I had the privilege to witness their growth and potential, but also because I was able to learn from them and build meaningful connections.”
- Maria Perez
“It was a wonderfully rewarding experience working with Mimi. We worked together for 3 months and Mimi learned a lot. The most amazing part was that I was able to help her, improve her business and make a difference in a way that was comfortable and fun for her.”
- Edit Ford
“Her Rise Above creates a space where these talented entrepreneurs can flourish with the right guidance and encouragement. As a mentor, I've learned as much as I've shared, gaining insights into innovation, perseverance, and the strength that comes from community.
I encourage anyone considering volunteering to take that step. You'll be part of something truly meaningful – helping to break down barriers and create opportunities that can change lives. The impact extends far beyond business success; it's about empowering women to realize their full potential."
