The Wilmington Young Enterprising Women Mentor Forum returns on October 23, 2025, and we’re inviting extraordinary women leaders from across Eastern North Carolina and the Wilmington region to step into a transformative role: MENTOR.
We are seeking 100 women STEAM leaders who would love to be mentors for 100+ female high school students who are engaged or interested in a career in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

The day is filled with mentoring, skills building, networking, and fun! The goal? To spark ambition, build confidence, and offer real-world guidance that helps shape our future leaders.
