WIB-Metro New York's Mentoring Circles Program is designed to foster meaningful relationships among women in the life sciences and healthcare. The program creates professional and personal growth opportunities by pairing mentors and mentees in small, supportive groups that meet regularly to share experiences, exchange knowledge, and build lasting connections. We are currently recruiting mentors who specialize in communications, business development, industry/ biotech research, finance/ venture capital/consulting, academia, entrepreneurship, and law.

• Groups meet virtually or in person for one hour each month from March to September.
• Groups decide the structure of their meetings, including which topics to cover.
• In-person kick-off event (March 20th) and closing event (early September)
• Mentees must be WIB members and pay a $50 program fee
