The Young Women’s Leadership Challenge (YWLC) is a yearlong U.S.-based program for high school aged-girls created and managed by The Pangea Network, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women and communities in the U.S. and Kenya. YWLC is composed of a summer conference, mentoring, monthly meetings, and commitment to creating a community service project.
15,000 is the number of students and community members who have been impacted by the Take Action Challenge service projects of our Young Women’s Leadership Challenge Alumni since 2017.
