2026 Girl Connected Mentorship Program.
It’s time, and you get first access.
We are so excited to share that the 2026 GCMP is officially open.
Launching in February 2026, the Girl Connected Mentorship Program (GCMP) returns for its next cohort a virtual five-month experience designed to support and prepare emerging women professionals pursuing careers across the music and creative industries. This year, mentees will have the opportunity to specialize in one of three core streams — Music Business, Marketing, or Creative Direction — each offering practical, project-based learning that mirrors real-world industry work.
Within the Music Business stream, applicants will select one of two focus areas: Artist Development or Event Production, depending on where their skills and interests align. Each path offers a distinct hands-on experience while still connecting across streams through shared workshops, group projects, and collaborative assignments.
The deadline to apply is Dec 19, 2025, at 11:59 PM (Eastern Time).
Please note, this mentorship program is open only to Canadian residents.
