We believe that everyone has a unique career journey, so we created a mentorship program and web platform that are tailored to meet women where they are on their path and catalyze their professional advancement. By taking mentees'-- undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and research staff in STEM-- preferences into account every step of the way, including allowing them to select their mentors and providing themed conversation guides for defining and achieving meeting goals, we optimize impact and everyone's experience.

We enable women to get their foot in the door for their next career step by matching them with professionals more advanced in their academic and industry careers. We make it easy for all participants with flexible scheduling to accommodate both side’s needs, options for both in-person and remote participation, group programming, and resources, all designed to create the most successful experience for our mentorship pairs and further our mission.

Our mission is to enhance the recruitment, retention, & success of women in STEM.

Recruitment

We bridge the gap between STEM higher education and careers. Our mentees have been hired for internships and full-time positions at mentors' companies.

Retention

We help women stay in the positions they earn and excel in them. Sustained exposure to companies through our program and network improves the assimilation of new employees.

Success

We equip our mentees and mentors to advance to leadership positions and achieve their career goals. Our participants build soft skills including professional communication, management, and leadership, and our mentors and mentees have reported an enhanced sense of belonging and concrete academic and professional achievements.
