Everyone needs mentoring and role models during their early career path, and much has been said and done with formal programs for mentoring women and underrepresented minorities in science.  Gay and transgender people however, largely invisible and overlooked, have had to create their own networks and mentoring efforts.  This presentation will discuss two such programs that some PROF Subdivision for Gay and Transgender Chemists members have been involved with as NOGLSTP members. The first program is MentorNet's One-on-One online mentoring program, and the second is NOGLSTP's Out to Innovate Career Summit for LGBT People in STEM.NOGLSTP is National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals, a non-profit organization that educates and advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer students and professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
