As we approach our 75th anniversary next year, SWE is as motivated as ever to support equity and advocacy in engineering. With the support of members like you, SWE is able to make a real difference in the lives of women in engineering around the world. This #GivingTuesday, help us meet our goal of raising $15,000 to help us continue this meaningful and necessary work.

Your generous donations support SWE’s programs, including:

• SWENext – This free program inspires a love of STEM for over 7,000 students ages 5-18 years old. Over 300 SWENext Clubs bring girls together to explore new possibilities worldwide.
• Scholarships – Nearly $1.5 million in scholarships were awarded in 2024, supporting over 330 young women in engineering. SWE had a record number of applicants this year, with over 8,000 applications.
• Research – This invaluable initiative tackles how to motivate women to enter the field, stay, and succeed. These findings help us focus our future efforts and advocacy.

WE Local conferences are organized by the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) to bring together participants in all stages of their collegiate and professional journey. The conferences create space for engineers, technologists, and partners to connect through professional development sessions, inspirational speakers, networking opportunities, and more.

WE Local attendees range from university students to senior-level professionals who come from a variety of engineering and technology disciplines, as well as non-technical backgrounds. The conferences also attract male allies who play an important role in advancing women in STEM. All are welcome at WE Local.
