Volunteer Opportunity: The Pangea Network is looking for dedicated and passionate professional women to guide high school girls who are building community service projects through the annual Young Women’s Leadership Challenge (YWLC) program. Your mentorship can have a lifelong impact!

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 2025 - April 2026

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 and others are fine with just these 4 meetings.

September 13th: 1st

November 15th: 2nd

January 24th: 3rd

March 22nd: Final Mentor Meeting

At Pangea, everything we do is rooted in our core At Pangea, everything we do is rooted in our core values: efficiency, transparency, and empowerment. đź’«

U.S. students will meet in person for 6 days and begin their YWLC journey. These days are full of fun and help build community among young women - which is what the vast majority of our applicants this year explicitly stated they’re looking for.

Meet our June Woman of the Month: Diana Awino! 🧡

Diana is a wife, mother of three, and a determined business owner from Homa Bay County. She runs a salon and cosmetic shop in Kendu Bay town!

Prior to joining the Pangea Network, Diana struggled to manage her business finances and meet her family’s needs. Through Pangea’s Network Program, she’s gained essential business and personal development skills, learning how to track her profits, and separate her business and personal money.

Since then, Diana’s living standards have improved. She built a beautiful permanent home, and she’s working toward her next goal of opening a barber shop to grow her income.

Join us in celebrating her hard work and progress in the comments below! 🙌✨

Father’s Day Spotlight: Layla & Her Dad 💙 Wh Father’s Day Spotlight: Layla & Her Dad 💙

When Layla dreamed up Community Cuisine @communitycuisinehtx to help feed families in need, her dad didn’t hesitate to jump in. "I was inspired by my daughter’s compassion to help others," he shared. "After she formulated a plan, I was all in to assist her to achieve her goals."

Together, they’ve served hot meals - and even warmer kindness - to countless families.

What makes him most proud? The smiles, the gratitude, and watching Layla be recognized for her outstanding community service while still managing school life.

His advice to other dads? "Show up. Volunteer. And bring your kids with you. Change only happens when you get involved."

This Father’s Day, we honor dads like Layla’s, who not only raise leaders but stand right beside them. 💪
