The authors highlight innovative examples, such as reciprocal mentorship between women from the Global North and South, as well as horizontal and equitable partnerships between organisations to tackle common challenges.  -   How can the power of volunteering for solidarity go beyond merely giving, by driving mutual growth, learning, and reciprocal collaborations?  For decades, International Volunteer Cooperation Organisations (IVCOs) have mobilized individuals to support development initiatives of partner organisations, securing sustained government funding due to proven development results and effective public engagement. While their programs remain relevant, in a world beset by intersecting crises and challenges, they must adapt to better address power imbalances and trigger transformative change.  Transformative change can unfold when volunteering is rooted in reciprocal collaboration between individuals and organisations sharing common interests and objectives. This think piece presents innovative examples of such collaboration:  Reciprocal mentorship among women from the global North and the global South, where participants contribute equally, each assuming the role of mentor and mentee. Horizontal and equitable relationships between organisations from the global South and global North, collaborating to tackle shared challenges.  These relationships aim to transcend entrenched power dynamics and deliver greater value to participating individuals and organisations, serving as leverage to reach and engage a broader public, and forging stronger human connections than traditional volunteering models.  The ‘Women’s Entrepreneurship in Solidarity’ Initiative  A standout example is the initiative ‘Women’s Entrepreneurship in Solidarity,’ part of the Volunteer Cooperation Programme of CECI (Centre d'étude et de coopération internationale), funded by the Canadian government. The programme pairs volunteer Canadian women entrepreneurs with women entrepreneurs from the global South. It also pairs Canadian organisations with those in the global South that influence the business ecosystem.  The program addresses gender-based barriers, such as lack of access to credit and tailored products, services, and networking. Women entrepreneurs often face isolation and greater challenges than men as they juggle care work obligations and discriminatory social and cultural norms while managing their businesses. The initiative fosters solidarity among women entrepreneurs and partner organisations in Canada and the global South, transforming the business ecosystem into one that is conducive to, adapted to, and supportive of women entrepreneurs. It shifts the dynamic from hierarchical ‘givers’ and ‘receivers’ to richer horizontal exchanges of experience, know-how, analytical questioning, and active listening.  Successfully piloted with women entrepreneurs in Bolivia and Senegal alongside their Canadian counterparts, this initiative focuses on the mutual exchange of expertise, experience, and skills between like-minded women entrepreneurs, businesses, and support organisations such as chambers of commerce. Through reciprocal mentorship, women-led businesses in Canada and the global South are expected to become more resilient, innovative, competitive, socially responsible, and better equipped to navigate and adapt to crises and rapidly changing environments. This reciprocal mentorship model is driven by the widespread interest among women entrepreneurs to engage in mutual exchanges based on respect, solidarity, engagement, sharing of experiences, and skills, which, in turn, impacts leadership roles within businesses, organisations, and communities.  CECI’s pilot initiative has facilitated these mutual exchanges.
