State of the States 2021

Million Women Mentors connects local communities and girl-serving institutions to state leaders, corporations, and a national movement to build momentum and drive local efforts. It is a national and global movement with local roots.

Million Women Mentors is organized by states, with state teams leading local individual efforts with over 40 states currently engaged. State leadership is able to make a pledge, develop a steering committee, and then work to reach their pledge goals within that state through partnerships, initiatives, and mentoring campaigns. Each state team works to engage companies, non-profits, and higher education to support girls and women in STEM through mentoring. State teams consist of 1-2 chairs and 5-10 steering committee members. In most cases, all are volunteers.

We have collected our states' 2020 efforts and projected plans and captured these results in a one-page report per state. Each report contains the states steering committee members, an honorary chair if applicable, 2020 events and updates and any actions of plans for 2021.
