Reach Initiative-- Opportunity for mentorship!

Wed, 06 Sep 2017 16:52:10 -0400

The Reach Initiative is currently looking for women who are pursuing degrees in the STEM fields or Economics and who exhibit a passion and commitment to gender empowerment, the maths and sciences, and diversity. Mentors will volunteer Sundays for 3 hours a week on campus with the possibility of receiving credit through the Honors College and/or Shriver Center.

We are looking for a diverse range of majors to be mentors for the young women we are partnering with. We are accepting applications and conducting interviews for a loose deadline of September 9, and we do encourage people to apply as soon as possible if they wish to be considered. Apply here

If they are interested in being involved but do not have the time, or are not a woman, there are plenty of areas for them to contribute and I would encourage them to to contact the director through her e-mail at mzepp1@umbc.edu.
