Mentoring programs for career and personal development have shown to be incredibly beneficial for mentees, boosting their work and life satisfaction. Mentoring programs are particularly important for women in academia, where they are usually a minority. In 2021, in the context of the commission of Women in Astronomy of the Spanish Society of Astronomy, we started a mentoring program for female astronomers to support their careers. In the first three editions, we have more than 50 participants between mentors and mentees. In this talk I will present the activities that were carried out within the mentoring program during these three years to boost the careers of our female astronomers.
