What

YWLC high school participants commit to building a community service project form A-Z! From the beginning of that journey, mentors help 2 students each navigate the mission, marketing, fundraising, and community building. Check out the types of projects our students work on here.

When

August 2026 - April 2027

Mentors meet with mentees at least 4 times throughout the year (exact dates on application) for 1:1 sessions. The average commitment ranges from 5-25 hours.

Who

Professional women from any sector who have experience in community service, mentorship, human rights, and/or women empowerment.

Where

Remote! Mentoring for YWLC can be done entirely online.

We have set these dates for you to meet with your student - please add it to your calendar.
If the date turns out to not work for you and the student, please adjust accordingly.
These are mandatory meetings.
Any additional meetings are welcome to be determined between you and the student! In previous years some students like to have monthly meetings or bi-monthly check-ins, while others are fine with just these 4 meetings.

September 12th: 1st

This month, we’re proud to highlight Faith Miria This month, we’re proud to highlight Faith Miriam—an inspiring entrepreneur, mother, and member of the Togetherness Women Group. Faith’s story is one of resilience and determination. After facing challenges in a highly competitive fish business, she took a leap of faith—using her savings to start a grocery shop and fresh juice business that now supports her family and community. Through The Pangea Network’s empowerment training, Faith strengthened her business skills, from bookkeeping to customer management—unlocking new growth and opportunity. Today, she’s not only increasing her income but building a better future—moving her family into a more comfortable home and working toward expanding her business even further. Faith reminds us that with the right tools, support, and determination, women can transform challenges into opportunity. #WomanOfTheMonth #WomensEmpowerment #PangeaNetwork #Entrepreneurship #CommunityImpact #SustainableLivelihoods
