For the past several years, the BCWBA has sponsored a mentoring program that matches students from the Women's Law Association at St. Mary's University School of Law with local attorneys. The goal of the program is to provide mentoring and insight to female law students on a range of career issues as they work towards becoming new attorneys. In addition to encouraging mentors and mentees to meet for lunch and other activities of their choosing, the program generally has several planned events throughout the year, such as:

• Fall - Coffee Social Fall - Shadow Week (mentees visiting the offices of their mentors)
• Fall - Bench Brunch Winter - BCWBA Luncheon at St. Mary's
• Spring - President's Party
• Summer - BCWBA Day at the San Antonio Mission's Game
