Our mission is to bring together WiCyS Austin Affiliate members at all stages of their careers who want to give or receive professional development support. No matter what stage of your professional path you are on, you can be a valuable mentor to someone else.
Mentees are empowered to pursue professional goals and find a suitable mentor to guide them along the way. Mentors are connected to mentees who align with their experience.
