The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) will develop a guide to mentoring aimed at the Latino community, called Una Mano al Futuro. Studies demonstrate that students are more likely to pursue science if they have mentors, have opportunities to explore potential careers, and learn in a supportive environment. Una Mano al Futuro will focus on reaching high school Latino girls at a critical stage and providing resources that can be used by the young women, their parents, teachers, and community leaders to create the environment that allows the women to explore their interest in science and technology careers.For the past 10 years, AWIS has established and improved community mentoring programs for pre-college, undergraduate and graduate students with funding from the Sloan Foundation, NSF and the NEC Corporation. AWIS's prior projects built on the knowledge and success of the Sloan mentoring program and produced a new publication: Creating Tomorrow's Scientists: Models of Community Mentoring. AWIS will edit andrevise their award-winning mentoring books, including A Hand Up: Women Mentoring Women in Science and Mentoring Means Future Scientists, and produce Spanish language editions with on-line companion materials in both English and Spanish.AWIS will work with several partners in developing materials and in dissemination to the Latino community: ASPIRA, a non-profit organization committed to Latino youth issues, and Minority Women in Science (MWIS). Members of AWIS, throughout its 76 local chapters, will distribute materials and assist in planning community-based events to reinforce the message of the materials.

科学界妇女协会（AWIS）将为拉丁裔社区制定一份指导指南，名为Una Mano al Futuro。研究表明，如果学生有导师，有机会探索潜在的职业，并在支持性的环境中学习，他们更有可能追求科学。Una Mano al Futuro将专注于在关键阶段接触高中拉丁裔女孩，并提供可供年轻女性，她们的父母，教师和社区领袖使用的资源，以创造环境，使女性能够探索他们对科学和技术职业的兴趣。本科生和研究生的资金来自斯隆基金会，国家科学基金会和NEC公司。AWIS以前的项目建立在斯隆指导计划的知识和成功的基础上，并出版了一本新的出版物：《创造明天的科学家：社区指导模式》。 AWIS将编辑和修订他们获奖的指导书籍，包括一只手：妇女指导妇女在科学和指导意味着未来的科学家，并制作西班牙语版本与在线配套材料在英语和西班牙语。AWIS将与几个合作伙伴在开发材料和传播到拉丁美洲社区：ASPIRA，一个致力于拉丁美洲青年问题的非营利组织，和少数民族妇女在科学（MWIS）。AWIS的成员将在其76个地方分会分发材料，并协助规划社区活动，以加强材料的信息。
