What we do
Our mission is to increase the prevalence and success of women in the workplace, marketplace, and public service sectors through training and technical assistance programs and services that are easily accessible and tailored to the distinct and critical needs of women and girls.
Support us on Giving Tuesday, November 28, and beyond!
Giving Tuesday and the holiday season are just around the corner! This year, we are launching a campaign with Diversity Woman Media to amplify our work and our mission to prepare women and girls to lead—in the workplace, marketplace, and public service sectors. Join our #LeadWithGenerosity campaign!
During November, and through the end of 2023 Funds raised through the #LeadWithGenerosity campaign will enable us to continue to provide training and technical assistance programs and services that are easily accessible and tailored to the distinct and critical needs of women and girls.
Programs & Services
I AM A LEADER seeks to address the historic under-representation of women in corporations, the marketplace, politics, public service, and other leadership roles and to continually fill the pipeline with talented women of all races, cultures, and backgrounds. I AM A LEADER’s programs and services support underserved women and girls across the lifetime continuum at three levels:
- Emerging Leaders. I AM A LEADER offers workshops and programs tailored to the needs of professional women seeking to acquire new heights of learning development, access, and achievement. The goal is to enable women to move forward – both personally and professionally – in a way that matches their lifestyles and ambitions.
- Future Leaders. Through educational activities and networking opportunities specifically designed to prepare and mentor college-going women, I AM A LEADER utilizes a positive youth development model and a pivotal mentorship program to expose and connect college-going women to the people and pathways who can inform and support their professional growth and development.
- At-Promise Leaders. At this level, I AM A LEADER offers youth development supports for school age children to learn about different career and college options, develop leadership skills, and to also cultivate among these students the mindset and skill set to achieve postsecondary success.
