What
YWLC high school participants commit to building a community service project from A–Z! From the beginning of that journey, mentors help two students each navigate the mission, marketing, fundraising, and community building. Check out the types of projects our students work on here.
When
August 2026 - April 2027
Mentors meet with mentees at least 4 times throughout the year (exact dates on application) for 1:1 sessions. The average commitment ranges from 5-25 hours.
Who
Professional women from any sector who have experience in community service, mentorship, human rights, and/or women empowerment.
Where
Remote! Mentoring for YWLC can be done entirely online.
We have set these dates for you to meet with your student - please add it to your calendar.
If the date turns out to not work for you and the student, please adjust accordingly.
These are mandatory meetings.
Any additional meetings are welcome to be determined between you and the student! In previous years some students like to have monthly meetings or bi-monthly check-ins, while others are fine with just these 4 meetings.
