About Monday Girl
Monday Girl (external link, opens in new window) fosters a diverse community of women and people of marginalized genders, addressing a networking gap they say often leaves these groups feeling lost in a boys’ club.
Founded in Toronto in 2017 by Rachel Wong and Istiana Bestari, Monday Girl’s mission is to provide all women, regardless of their background, access to career support, job opportunities, and mentorship with leaders that look like them. This mission has never been more important than it is now.
Monday Girl also owns Monday Girl Social Club, a digital networking platform that makes job opportunities, mentorship, and skills training accessible for next-generation leaders. Monday Girl Social Club aims to change how women build their networks through a more inclusive and positive experience that gets women excited about building their careers.
