SHE Week
SHE WEEK is an extension of our EMERGE Women’s Summit and is aimed as an outreach to high school and young gap year or early college student females (ages 14-22) who don’t have formal activities during the summer and who are in desperate need of professional women to mentor them and show them what is possible outside of their current situation or life circumstances. Through a series of planned events each day, our goal is to engage seasoned female professionals in a variety of activities that will speak and breathe life into the next generation.
