Happy Pi Day! Today, we are very excited to launch the Latinas Engineering Leadership Program, a 3-month virtual mentorship program designed to empower and support Latinas who are early in their college career and are interested in pursuing a degree in Computer Science.

Know an incoming Latina college freshman interested in studying Computer Science? Help them land their first technical internship. The Latinas Engineering Leadership Program is now open! Deadline: 4/30/18. Apply: bit.ly/latina-engineers

We would love it if you could help us spread the word and encourage high school students to submit their application. Please share this opportunity with your network, it only takes a few seconds. We are starting this initiative focused on helping Latina students pursuing a BA/BS in CS at a university in California.

We greatly appreciate your support in promoting the program and taking part in our mission to open more opportunities for Latinas in STEM and bridging the gender gap in tech by supporting aspiring Latina engineers through mentorship.

"In my experience, the best mentors aren't just cheerleaders -- they're coaches. They encourage you, but they also teach you how to think strategically about how to set yourself up for success. I loved that my managers at Microsoft helped me get on projects that would give me the skills I needed to advance. They acted like sponsors -- they were always thinking about the next step and made sure I was, too. That's what I try to do for the young people I mentor as well.

And one other thing I'd say? The most important mentoring I've had in my life hasn't always been formal. There are rarely moments where you officially declare someone your mentor and go schedule advice-getting time in your calendar. It's really just about developing relationships with individuals who you admire and can relate to." -Melinda Gates, Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Tim Ferriss, the author of "The 4-Hour Workweek" and "Tribe of Mentors," says the best mentors won't give you all the answers, but will give you the ability to find them yourself.

“When a young person sees someone other than their teacher take interest in them, it inspires them."

Mentorship Is Key To Career Success For Young Professionals Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to have great mentors who were willing to take a bet on me and provide opportunities for growth. These mentors have not only taught me about what is important (both personally and professionally); they have also given me several big breaks.
