Mentor Network

The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Mentor Network is designed to provide mentoring opportunities to girls, women, and gender non-conforming individuals. Students who are interested in mathematics or are pursuing careers in mathematics are matched with mentors, of all genders. The network is intended to link mentors with a variety of groups: recent PhD’s, graduate students, undergraduates, high school and grade school students, and teachers. Matching is based on common interests in careers in academics or industry, math education, balance of career and family, or general mathematical interests. For more information, read the AWM Mentor Network 2022 Report. Also see our Welcoming Environment Statement.

Suggestions for Mentors

Volunteer to mentor someone in their pursuit of their mathematical interests or to help the AWM Mentor Network in other ways. As a mentor you don’t have to have all of the answers, but you can help to make the connection to someone or someplace that does!

Become a Mentor

We strongly encourage mentors, mentees, and their institutions to join AWM so that they can stay informed on opportunities and resources available through the AWM.  For more information contact a member of the AWM Mentor Network Committee or send an email to awmmentor@gmail.com.
