Enrichment Conferences

 

We give young women and girls the tools they need to succeed at school, join the workforce as leaders, and transform lives. 

Our Enrichment Conferences are multi-city events designed in partnership with local community leaders to support the educational goals, professional development, and well-being of young women and girls in the United States. We connect young women and girls and PowHERful Scholars to advocates, industry experts, and mentors, and help them build new skills, create lasting connections, and navigate their futures.

We take a comprehensive and tailored approach to success. We know that college and career decisions alone do not lead to success and growth. Thriving in school and building a rewarding career require a range of resources and tools that empower young women and girls in their decision-making processes and well-being. 

Our Enrichment Conferences combine skills development and workforce readiness with community building, mentorship, and self-care in expert panels, activity workshops, and mentorship sessions to truly meet the needs of young women and girls.

 

Our EXPERT PANELS are an interactive experience to learn about career paths, employers, and industries, and gain a deeper understanding of the strategies successful women have used to navigate challenges in their work environments.

We complement these panels with small-group workshops that help young women and girls master skills and practice strategies for college planning, goal setting, personal branding, problem solving, and workforce readiness. 

Our MENTORSHIP LUNCHES provide a welcoming space for young women and girls to develop their support systems, explore professional goals, and receive personalized guidance from industry leaders. 

Our mentors represent a variety of sectors, including STEM, and bring their diverse career experience to lead meaningful conversations with small groups of young women and girls. 

We also promote ongoing relationship building, learning, and access to opportunities for former Enrichment Conference participants and scholars through our digital community platform.

Our expert-led BREAKOUT SESSIONS on mental, physical, and reproductive health encourage young women and girls to think about how stress and stigma affect their lives. They learn strategies, tips, and tools to cope with challenges and help them thrive on their college and career paths.

We also help young women and girls access these tools by providing information about relevant resources in their communities, including mental health hotlines and youth-friendly health services.

If you are a young woman who is serious about your future and looking for an opportunity to receive useful school, work, and life skills, drop us a line. We’ll be in touch when our next Enrichment Conference is planned. Take the first step on your PowHERful journey!
