Fostering a nationwide movement
Together with our collaborative partners we are equipping teens with the skills and dispositions to be leaders in their communities today.
Join our live Young Women LEAD events both virtually and in person.
Since Young Women LEAD was a morsel of an idea, women have shaped its vision – and its outcomes.
YWL Clubs and Leadership Curriculum for high schools carries forward and keeps alive the messages girls hear at Young Women LEAD events.
Young Women LEAD offers organizations a wide array of opportunities to engage in and further our mission.
At Young Women LEAD, we believe in the strength of collaboration. Through strategic partnerships with leaders, innovators, and community organizations, we further our mission to reach high school girls nationwide and change the narrative they tell themselves empowering them to be bold, fearless and lead with confidence.
Young Women LEAD has partnered with Blue Origin Club for the Future to provide additional resources to explore careers in STEAM. Founded by Blue Origin, Club for the Future is a non-profit with the mission to inspire and mobilize future generations to pursue careers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) for the benefit of Earth.
The Club and its partners are doing this through the Postcards to Space program, providing space-focused lessons and events, and activating ambassadors around the world. Students who attend our in-person conferences, can participate in Blue Origin Club for the Future’s Postcards to Space program.
A national initiative is underway to promote the vast benefits and limitless opportunities associated with space exploration and development for students and jobseekers everywhere who may otherwise believe that a future in space and STEM is unattainable for them. An unprecedented Public-Private Partnership aims to Inspire, Prepare and Employ a diverse, inclusive Space STEM workforce by sharing the excitement of space on a national scale, igniting interest in future careers in STEM and space, and revealing the many ways that space enhances our lives on Earth. Leaders in the space industry are working together with government, corporations, community organizations and academic institutions to launch this transformative public awareness campaign – Space4All.
Young Women LEAD has been invited to be part of this newly launched mission to promote awareness, inclusion, and future career opportunities in space. Learn more about Space 4 All and how this collaborative is empowering the next generation of space and STEM leaders.
Young Women LEAD has partnered with Lean In Girls to offer YWL Club members additional curriculum resources. With equal parts strength building and real talk on the bias and barriers girls face, the Lean In Girls curriculum teaches girls to embrace their leadership superpowers and reject limiting stereotypes about what girls can’t do. Lean In Girls is a leadership program that helps girls see themselves as leaders in a world that often tells them they’re not. It’s never been more important that we empower our girls.
That’s where Lean In Girls partnership with Young Women LEAD comes in. We want to equip girls to be self-assured, resilient, and inclusive everyday leaders and inspire them to lead boldly. And we want the world to remove the obstacles in girls’ way and encourage them to lead on their own terms. With a balance of strength-building activities and real talk on important topics like bias and allyship, participants learn to embrace their leadership superpowers and reject limiting stereotypes about what girls can’t do.
