AWC-NYC MENTORING AND OUTREACH

Be active in establishing and changing technology for women today!

One of the AWC-NYC chapter goals is to provide mentoring opportunities for our membership. To meet this goal, the Association for Women in Computing has teamed up with MentorNet - the Presidential Award winning E-Mentoring Network for Women in Engineering and Science.

For student members, the MentorNet experience can connect you with an industry professional. This connection will provide you with an experienced sounding board, which can help you plan your career and improve your skills.

For professional members, MentorNet can give you the chance to develop your coaching skills while participating in the development of a valued member of the technology community. You will be able to give back what you have learned or wish you had learned and assist in the development of women in technology.

AWC of NYC Partners with Girl Scouts of NYC

Are you interested in educating teenage girls on the opportunities the technology industry has to offer?

AWC-NYC has developed a partnership with the Girl Scout's Studio 2B program to provide 2-3 hour workshops on all areas of technology. Studio 2B is an outreach program created by the Girl Scouts to empower teen girls to "Become, Belong, Believe, Build" by creating opportunities for community outreach, career development and discussion of issues.

AWC-NYC has already provided two workshops to the Studio2B girls. The first workshop gave the girls a guided tour through a website development department as well as a one-hour tutorial on Microsoft FrontPage. The second workshop gave the girls a behind-the-scenes look at a creative services company and provided them some hands-on instruction in Photoshop.

Want to create a workshop for the AWC-Studio 2B partnership? Email mentor@awcnyc.org.
