Mentorship Program

The feminist principle of education and mentoring means creating opportunities to guide, counsel, coach, tutor, and teach each other. Constantly sharing our skills, knowledge, history, and understanding makes our organizations healthier and more effective in the pursuit of equality and inclusion." - Debbie Armstrong

Organizations like the Committee on the Status of Women (CSW) and the National Organization for Women (NOW) have praised the effectiveness of professional mentoring in gaining equal access, equal pay, and equal representation. A similar effort by the Women's Caucus for Political Science has shown early success.

FTGSS is constructing a professional mentorship program. It will be up and running later this year. If you would like to participate, either as a mentor or as a mentee, please let us know.
