During the 6 weeks, mentees will be in contact with their mentors, sending them their works and getting reviews and commentaries.

In addition, all mentees will be provided weekly airtime during the program.
Hear from a 2023 Fellow experience:
“Every part of the program was thoughtful and thorough. I found feedback polls most thoughtful and engaging. They showed that the Sprinng team cares about each mentee’s welfare. Provisions were also made for mentees to express themselves fully. The weekly airtime sent out to encourage and support us during the program was also thoughtful.” – Uwachukwunenye Princess Anna
