In each community where we host a program, we identify the high schools we believe can most benefit from having this program hosted at their school.  Working with STEM leaders, school counselors, and math and science teachers, the school identifies students who are strong in math, science or technology who can benefit from participating in this program.

At some high schools, an entire grade level of girls is invited to participated.  At smaller schools, it may be possible to open the Mentoring Forum to all interested girls. We recommend that a minimum of 30 girls are selected to participate, but if the school can accommodate a larger group, we have hosted events with as many as 100 girls participating.

We ask our local event chairs to work closely with the school system to identify a date and time for the event that is most convenient on the school’s calendar.  Normally our programs are hosted after school, but when that poses a transportation problem for girls who rely on school busing to get home after school, the program can also be hosted in the morning or at any time convenient for the school.

If you are a school administrator, counselor or teacher interested in having a Young Enterprising Women Mentoring Program hosted at your school, reach out to us at info@enterprisingwomen.com and we will be glad to contact you.  We appreciate your interest in the Young Enterprising Women Mentoring Forum Program.

The Enterprising Women Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization and sister organization of Enterprising Women magazine, is hosting a series of mentoring events around the U.S. to connect outstanding high school girls with an interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) with outstanding women entrepreneurs in their local community.

"For so long, women were taught that bossy was a bad thing, when it’s actually leadership. Having this
experience to not only be encouraged to be the leader and be the boss, but to see it done in a forum that’s
only women is so powerful for my young ladies. I am so impressed with the diversity of the Enterprising
Women. Every single one of my young ladies can see themselves in the entrepreneurs. The varied backgrounds
helps them know you can be in biotech, or the sciences, or engineering, and be an entrepreneur."

NANCY CATRELL
Science Teacher, WISE Director, Apex Friendship High School

"Many of the girls in the program come from economically distressed areas and they do not typically have this kind
of opportunity. To expose them to a day of mentoring and STEM activities is a very big opportunity for them."

PURBA MAJUMDER
President, Cybervation

"No one ever talked to these girls about, “How can you grow? How can you make a difference for yourself?"

SHARON HADARY
President, Sharon Hadary & Co.

"This conference definitely had a big impact on me personally and what I would do with the rest of my time in
high school. It helped put me on the map and get myself known to the other individuals in the community."

ISHIKA MUJAMDER
Computer Science Student, University of Michigan

"It’s mentoring. It’s sponsoring. It’s offering internships. It’s the scholarships. It’s the online counseling.
It’s not only helping us as individuals, but by providing the kinds of resources and our sisterhood
that allows us to use our contacts to help others."

EDIE FRASER
CEO, Women Business Collaborative

"The Enterprising Women program is so incredibly important to me. I know what it means to grow up in a
food desert community and to not grow up in my own home. Having real live mentors as I was growing up would
have been extraordinary. This is a program that is going to get our girls to the next level."
