Become a Mentee

We would love to get to know you! Please click the buttons below to apply for the CORE Program or the Women in STEM Mentorship Program. Please contact us with your questions if you have them.

What to Expect

To get the most out of the experience…

• BE CONSISTENT: Consistently meet with your mentor one-on-one. These getting-to-know-you meetings, build the foundation for your relationship and establish your partnership. Then your meetings will transition to be focused more on YOUR personal and professional development.
  • CORE Program: You will meet with your mentor once per week.
  • STEM Program: You will meet with your mentor at least one hour once per month.
• SHOW UP: Attend scheduled workshops 1 – 2 evenings per month. Workshops are usually 1.5-2 hours long and give you an opportunity to learn with, from, and about the other women in the group. Workshops are about gaining new information and skills, as well as building a community with the group.
• PUT EFFORT IN: You will get out of this program what you put into it! We provide great resources, support, and opportunities. It’s up to you to take advantage of them. We’ve seen mentees have great results in making decisions, putting ideas into action, getting unstuck, and moving forward in their lives. That’s what we want for you, too!

Become a Mentor

Women who have life experiences to share, are great listeners, have caring hearts, and are interesting in having a major impact in the community make great mentors! By becoming a volunteer mentor, you will work one-on-one with a mentee to provide support and guidance as she develops and works toward her education, career, and/or life goals.
