Creating opportunities in science, technology, engineering, math & medicine for students interested in STEMM educational programs and careers.
Our Story
Clear Direction Mentoring (CDM) exists to expand access to education and carrers in science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine (STEMM) by breaking down barriers for high school students. CDM partners with universities whose graduate students and postdoctoral fellows volunteer as mentors, providing long-term support beginning in students’ sophomore year and continuing through their first paid STEMM internship. CDM partner with New York University, University of Colorado Anschutz, and local businesses, with support from grants and donations, to empower students to achieve their dreams in STEMM.

“At my school, there are not many people of color in the STEMM field, and on top of that, you don’t have the resources and opportunities. Clear Direction Mentoring has given me the network opportunity that I’m so grateful for.”
“I found the mentors really helpful, especially during my college process. I got a lot of mentors to review my personal statement, help me edit my supplemental essays, and really plan out my college list.”
Your support helps us create incredible STEMM opportunities for high school and college students
