Stemettes

Have you had someone guide you at a pivotal moment in your career? A mentor who believed in you and helped you grow? Now, imagine being that person for someone else. Imagine a world where every young mind, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to thrive in STEAM. A world where creativity, innovation, and diversity aren’t just celebrated but actively cultivated. YOU have the power to help make that a reality. Mentorship is more than career advice; it’s a bridge to belonging, confidence, and ambition. For young women and non-binary young people, a mentor can be the game-changer that ignites their passion and equips them to overcome barriers. Isn’t that worth investing in? ⭐️ Mentorship Transforms Lives Through the Student to Stemette mentoring programme, one mentee stepped up to improve their interpersonal skills and gain a deeper understanding of the pharmacology field. What they discovered was so much more. With Helen Deery’s outstanding mentorship, Maariyah built confidence, sharpened communication skills, and grasped challenging interview scenarios - including navigating salary negotiations. Helen’s personalised guidance turned ambitious goals into tangible achievements. Now, driven by this experience, Maariyah is pursuing a pharmacology degree, aspiring to contribute to innovative work at a leading company like GSK. This story is a powerful example of how mentorship can spark growth and inspire the next generation of professionals. If you’ve been thinking about becoming a mentor, take the leap. Your support could change someone’s future. At Stemettes, we believe in lifting others as we rise in our own careers. That’s why we’re inviting you to join the Stemettes Volunteer Hub – a community of passionate professionals dedicated to empowering the next generation in STEAM. ✅ Why YOU Should be a Mentor Mentorship isn’t a one-sided experience. You might be offering guidance and encouragement, but the truth is, you grow as much as the person you’re mentoring. You gain new perspectives, sharpen your leadership skills, and rekindle the passion that brought you into STEAM in the first place. When we mentor young women and non-binary young people into STEAM careers, we: + Break down stereotypes + Build bridges to opportunity + Equip the next generation to lead and succeed ⭐️ Make it Happen Becoming a mentor only requires empathy, a listening ear, and the willingness to support others. Whether you’ve longed to give back, grow your skills, or simply make the world better, this is your invitation to mentoring. stemettes.org/volunteer Join the movement and take the first step today. 💬 Comment below if you’ve been a mentor or mentee – we’d love to hear your stories and celebrate the amazing power of mentorship together. #Mentoring #Leadership #STEMVolunteers #WomenInSTEM #CareerGrowth #StudentToStemette ✨ #shoutouts ✨ Jade Mac Gregor, Aniko Ban, Alia Quraishi, Tushita Yadav, Denise Prairie Wright, and Karyn Sansom
