Million Women Mentors

Million Women Mentors

Million Women Mentors – Turkey is an initiative to create a network of mentoring programs supporting female high school students, university students, and young professionals seeking careers in STEM in Turkey. Million Women Mentors – Turkey’s goal is to establish 1 million mentoring connections within 10 years. While the initiative serves female mentees, both male and female mentors are welcome.

The program is a partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Turkey Business Council, the Council’s Women in Business Initiative co-chairs Umran Beba, founder of Beba Foundation and partner at August Leadership, and Canan Özsoy, CEO, GE Turkey, TurkishWIN and TOBB.

Million Women Mentors, dubbed Milyon Kadına Mentor in Turkish, combines STEMconnector’s global leadership in supporting girls and women on STEM pathways with TurkishWIN’s expertise in mentor-matching, and its expansive network of private sector mentors in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers and early STEM career, female mentees in Turkey.
