Women make up less than 25% of all elected officials in the United States, and just 6% percent of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Who does this hurt? Not just women, but our entire country. How do we fix this? Inspire our generation of young women to step into their leadership potential at every level. EmpowHER.
Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire young women to seek leadership positions in every area of their lives: at school, in their extracurricular clubs, in their communities of faith, and in every aspect of their lives. EmpowHER provides the tools to run campaigns, lead meetings, set goals, manage events, raise money, recruit participants, and do every other task required to be an outstanding leader. Our network of young women in leadership provides mentors and coaches, with the understanding that every young woman in a leadership position should recognize the importance of reaching out and ensuring the next generation of young women in leadership will be ready to step into their potential.
