Back to programs
Developing the next generation of researchers and executives. Mentee applications for our 2026 program have now closed. If you applied for a 2026 mentor, we will circle back in early 2026 to let you know next steps.
Wire currently offers locally-matched mentoring opportunities in Atlanta, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Toronto as well as remote opportunities. If you don’t live in one of the cities listed, you may request a “virtual” mentor on your application, although we’ll do our best to find a mentor in your local market.
Throughout the program, mentees leverage the success of their mentor by asking questions about work/life balance, professional growth and more, while mentors have an opportunity to grow their leadership and mentoring skills in a one-to-one environment. And if you can make it, our in-person networking events are a great place to meet up as well.
Wire’s mentorship program is an opportunity to build life-long relationships, and share new perspectives. We’re thrilled that this program plays an instrumental role in bringing up the next generation of woman researchers and executives.
Our global roster of mentors are busy CEOs, senior level executives and entrepreneurs, making our mentoring program a highly competitive process. Each year we receive more than twice the mentee applications than we can match so we encourage you to use your application to put your best foot forward! Mentors select their mentees based on goals, interests, experience and, in some cases, location.
We require that participants commit to a 12-month program, meeting monthly for 1-2 hours per meeting, plus a minimum of six hours via phone/Skype and/or email coaching, with the goal of monthly contact. Updates submitted by you during the first month of the program and every two months thereafter help us ensure the success of the match.
Our mentee application generally opens in Q4 prior to the program year. If you do not see a link to be matched, the application is not currently open. Due to the size of this program, we can only match mentors and mentees during the alllotted application period. If you want to be notified when our next application cycle opens, be sure to join our mailing list.
Matching takes place in late Q4 and early Q1; we strive to complete the matching process before the end of January but have to adapt to the amount of applications we receive each year. That being said: we will reach out to you, regardless of your being matched or not. We promise!
