Women2Women America International Program
Last night, the MWPC co-sponsored
the 10th annual Women2Women event. This organization works towards
building a network of talented young women from around the globe. The women are
engaged in issues that pertain to their lives and are given the tools and
opportunities required to lead. Over a 10-day period, about 100 emerging female
leaders will participate in an educational training program designed to provide
the girls with leadership skills. This year, the event occurred from July 29 to
August 8 in Boston.
W2W was specifically created to
provide young female leaders with the skills needed to succeed around the
globe. The females in W2W are challenged to develop and implement a cooperative
civic engagement plan in their communities.
The five goals of the program
include: building bridges of mutual understanding, respect, and trust;
strengthening leadership skills; engaging young women in the issues that define
their lives; demonstrating the importance of civic engagement and volunteerism;
and establishing a powerful network.
At the Women2Women America
International Leadership Program last evening, there were about 120 young girls
representing 26 different countries. The MWPC is very proud of this
organization and everything they accomplish. We support their work and the
continuation of their success.
