Abstract
Mentoring Youth Through Technology (MYTT) is a technology company that provides STEM education opportunities to underserved students in the Chicagoland area. The focus of the business project is to create a mentorship program for middle school aged girls that teach important social-emotional skills, build confidence and community, and provide career exposure that runs through MYTT. Over the last several months, I have been given the opportunity to aid in designing the curriculum and logistics of the mentorship program, including defining target audience, lesson plans, mentors, location, time commitment, marketing, and growth assessment tools. MYTT has benefited by gaining my new, and experienced perspective in the design of the program, as well as my perspective as an advocate for young girls and education. The most significant impact of this internship will be the pilot program that runs this year.
