FutureHer Mentorship

Are you a girl curious about STEM and ready to build your confidence, discover your strengths, and shape your future?

The FutureHer Mentorship Program is a four-week virtual mentorship experience designed to help girls explore STEM, build confidence, connect with inspiring women, and begin shaping their future with greater clarity.

Why FutureHer

Many girls are interested in STEM but may not yet understand the opportunities available to them, how their strengths connect to different STEM fields, or what steps they can take to prepare for the future.

FutureHer gives girls early access to the guidance, role models, practical skills, and encouragement they need to explore STEM with confidence. Through mentorship, interactive learning, and career exposure, participants begin to see STEM as a future they can actively shape.

The program helps each girl build the confidence, curiosity, and connections needed to make informed choices, pursue her interests, and take meaningful steps toward her future in STEM.

About the Program

The FutureHer Mentorship Program is a four-week virtual experience designed to help girls explore STEM, discover their strengths, and begin building a future they feel excited about.

Through interactive sessions, practical activities, mentor conversations, and peer learning, participants are introduced to different STEM pathways while developing confidence, curiosity, communication, problem-solving, and goal-setting skills.

Each week takes participants through a different stage of their journey, from understanding where they fit in STEM to creating a personal action plan for their next steps.

FutureHer connects girls with inspiring women in STEM who share honest experiences, practical guidance, and encouragement. By the end of the program, participants leave with greater career awareness, stronger confidence, meaningful connections, and a clearer vision for their future in STEM.

Applications for the July 2026 cohort are now open!

How Is the Program Structured

The FutureHer Mentorship Program is delivered virtually over four weeks, with each week focused on a different stage of a girl’s STEM discovery and development journey.

Free Resource: Discovering Myself in STEM Workbook for Girls

Choosing a future in STEM can feel exciting, but it can also come with many questions.

The Discovering Myself in STEM Workbook for Girls was created to help girls explore these questions in a simple, encouraging, and practical way.

For parents & guardians

How we keep your daughter safe.

Every choice we make in FutureHer is filtered through one question: is this safe and visible to her parent or guardian?

Vetted Big Sisters only

Every mentor is a Big Sister in STEM with verified credentials and a documented background check. We never pair girls with unvetted volunteers.

Group Sessions only

Your daughter is matched with a Big Sister, a real woman in STEM, not a chatbot or generic curriculum. Mentorship that meets her where she is.

Sessions Recorded & Shared

Every live session is recorded and the link shared with parents within 24 hours. You can review any session your daughter attends.

Weekly Parent updates

Each week we send parents an email summary of what was covered, what’s coming next, and how their daughter is engaging.

Parent Consent required

Every application requires written parent or guardian consent. Parents have direct access to the team for any concern, any time.

Easy Withdrawal

If the first week isn’t right for her, we offer an easy withdrawal process within 7 days of cohort start.
