Million Women Mentors – Turkey is an initiative to create a network of mentoring programs supporting female high school students, university students, and young professionals seeking careers in STEM in Turkey. Million Women Mentors – Turkey’s goal is to establish 1 million mentoring connections within 10 years. While the initiative serves female mentees, both male and female mentors are welcome.

The program is a partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Turkey Business Council, the Council’s Women in Business Initiative co-chairs Umran Beba, founder of Beba Foundation and partner at August Leadership, and Canan Özsoy, CEO, GE Turkey, TurkishWIN and TOBB.
