On the off chance that someone might be interested, i’m going to post about a volunteer opportunity. The Women & Math Mentoring program asks professional women in a math, science or computer related field to mentor an 8th grade girl for the second half of the school year. Mentoring involves spending time with your 2 or 3 mentees about once a month, or a total of about 5 times.
It’s a pretty interesting program. This is my first year doing it, and i’m excited about it, but also not sure what i’m in for. They are still looking for some more mentors this year, so if you are interested, please check out their website.
