There will be a program kick-off on October 30 from 6-8 PM. Additional details will be sent by the end of September. Please note: Being unable to attend the kick-off DOES NOT prevent you from participating in the program - so please sign up even you aren't sure whether you can attend the kick-off!

The group mentoring program is included with an AWIS membership. The program is also open to non-members for a $20 fee. The fee may be paid at https://seattleawis.org/mentoring/.

Please note: The mentoring fee should not be paid until you receive confirmation that you have been placed into a group. You will be notified in October of 2023!

Please reach out to mentoring@seattleawis.org if this fee represents a hardship, and you'd like to join the program.
