Million Women Mentors is a movement to spark the interest and confidence of girls and women to pursue and succeed in STEM careers and leadership opportunities through the power of mentoring. Research shows that individuals with mentors have improved academic, social, and economic prospects. For women in STEM fields, this becomes increasingly important as young women look to role models to help them gain their confidence and increase their opportunities, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and math careers where women remain grossly underrepresented.

Rooted in local programs but tied to a national movement, MWM connects mentors to a network of over 1000 volunteers across 40+ active states and multiple context-specific initiatives. By taking local mentoring initiatives and connecting them to a nationwide and global movement, MWM proves that change comes from efforts on the ground with an overall shared mission and approach
