The SWE Boston K-12 Outreach Committee coordinates programs concerning career guidance that inform women, their families, guidance counselors, and the public in general, of the qualifications and achievements of women engineers and the opportunities open to them.
Interested in getting involved?
If you’d like to volunteer at upcoming outreach events or are looking for more ways to get involved, reach out to Emily, our VP K-12 Outreach, at outreach@sweboston.org. All volunteers must complete youth training, which is good for three years. It’s a great way to give back and have fun along the way.

New outreach events are always on the horizon. For more information about participating in any of our outreach programs, email FY25 VP of Outreach, Emily C., at outreach@sweboston.org.

SWENext
SWENext is a great resource for girls K-12 as well as educators and parents. It’s free to sign up and has tons of activities, a great monthly newsletter that shares profiles and interviews with women in a certain engineering discipline (different one each month). There are also opportunities to connect with local female engineers and lots of scholarship opportunities as well. Please add Event Code “SWEBoston” when you sign up!
