About Transportation YOU

Transportation YOU is a mentoring program that offers young women an introduction to a wide variety of transportation careers. Through the program, WTS works to spark interest in all modes of transportation and make a difference in the lives of young women by offering programs and activities that will encourage them to take courses in math, science, and technology.

Mentor Expectations for Transportation YOU

Mentors support small groups of Blaine High School students by attending four early‑morning, in‑person lessons throughout the school year and participating in three midday field trips focused on engineering and transportation careers. Each mentor is expected to help plan and lead one lesson or field trip, guide a group of 5–6 girls alongside one or two co‑mentors, and stay engaged through periodic email check‑ins, reminders, and questions. The program runs from September through April and provides structured opportunities for mentors to connect with students while introducing them to transportation industry pathways.

If you are interested in being a mentor, please contact Mario Ratnaraj or Megan Danielson.
