The Self-esteem and Higher Education Leadership Academy for young women is designed to empower female high school students grades 10-11 with the tools needed for personal and professional life and career success.

SHE is based on the theory that exposure to higher education, mentors, role modeling and planning a future for at-risk youth will increase persistence toward high school completion and encourage college attendance. Providing young women with self-determination to envision a future for themselves will result in strong women leaders, strong family units and healthier successful communities.

SHE Leadership Academy Program Goals:

-      Develop leadership skills for young women

-         Provide a bridge for a seamless transition from high school to college or career

-        Increase motivation and persistence toward high school completion

-         Empower young women & enhance their self-esteem

-        Provide mentoring opportunities for underrepresented young women and Women community leaders

-        Cultivate relationships between accomplished women leaders as role-models for SHE Leadership Academy participants

-        Enable young women to take ownership in their future career choices by providing multiple demonstrations and models for success

-         Demonstrate skills and techniques for dealing with negative behaviors and interactions i.e. bullying, peer pressure

-         Encourage a “SHE Can-Do Attitude”

The highlight of the SHE Leadership Academy is the mentor program. Each high school student will be paired with a campus or community Exceptional Woman Leader.  SHE will continue after the Academy based on monthly mentor contact, SHE Tweets and a newsletter.
