The Pangea Network is looking for dedicated and passionate high school interns for its annual Young Women’s Leadership Challenge (YWLC) program.

YWLC is a year-long program designed to empower high school girls in a holistic way. The program starts with an intensive leadership conference, led by interns, which will take place at Rice University, UT Austin, and Washington University. The conference is followed by ongoing mentorship, monthly online workshops, and the creation and execution of a community service project.

*Note - This application requires a reference letter from a teacher, mentor, or coach.

The intern should be comfortable with leading discussion groups of high school girls, leading leadership activities, and mentoring. Furthermore, the student should have an interest in the development of young women as leaders as well as in global issues, human rights, social entrepreneurship, financial literacy, career exploration, self-defense, and community service.
