Be a STEAM Mentor

Be the Change, Become a Mentor

Our next opportunity to mentor will be forthcoming in Fort Collins, CO. The event will connect mentors and girls to address some of girls’ most pressing questions. These include how to find and apply for summer internships, institutes, and jobs; how to accelerate English as a second language to access higher-level math and science; blending STEAM disciplines; and how to navigate college admissions and scholarships. Leading professionals and graduate students will mentor girls ages 13 to 18.

Mentor orientation has passed for this event; however, you are welcome to preregister for upcoming mentoring opportunities. Ready to start? Let’s make it happen.
