Why Donate to SCWIST?
Your support of SCWIST will promote and empower women working in science, engineering and technology to grow, develop, and succeed in their fields, as well as encourage and provide assistance to young women pursuing their dreams of a career in science.
Your donation will support:
• The ms infinity program, inspires young women in BC and the Yukon by introducing them to exciting career options and education in science and technology
• The Immigrating Women in Science program (IWIS), which offers mentorship and other resources to women who have immigrated to Canada after having trained and established careers in science, engineering and technology in other countries
• SCWIST workshops, speaker’s events and networking opportunities for early-stage or mid-career women to make valuable academic and industry contacts and develop a sense of community with other women in scientific fields
• Expanded programming such as job boards and scholarships
Thanks to your support of SCWIST we have made great strides in the education and promotion of women in science, engineering and technology throughout Canada. Canadian women benefit from your continued financial support and the encouragement it provides.
