Our Vision is to create generations of confident girls. Our presenters and trusted brands provide experiences that engage young women to be confident and strong leaders. With the support of individuals like you, select brands and corporate impact partners, Young Women LEAD events are provided free to all young women. Whether it’s our live events or interactive, evidence-based curriculum, we instill self-confidence and equip high school girls with workforce tools to pursue their dreams.

Opportunities for ALL

Young Women LEAD events are open to all girls in grades 9-12 regardless of where they live, their family incomes, or their GPAs. Just as we engage with all girls, we offer opportunities for everyone to get involved and support our mission. 

Whether you prefer to roll up your sleeves and do the heavy lifting, serve as a social media champion, give financially, or engage your company in sponsorships, we have a spot for you.

We recognize the role each person plays to shepherd girls throughout their education and into their careers. 

We welcome your involvement in creating opportunities for girls to soar.
