Mentorship Opportunities
School Talks
Bring to life a topic with a lecture or classroom discussion lead by experts working in the field. In-person or virtually, this is a great way to engage several grades all at once who are looking for a deeper dive on a general subject.
Group Sessions
Share a group mentoring session to learn alongside others who share your interests. Ideal for small groups such as birthday parties, school classes, clubs, or just a group of friends who want to explore a topic together.
Events
Join our Mentors on their excursions into the field for special live adventures where you get to experience the action alongside them. Field Trips can take place in-person when possible or virtually via live streams.
