Power of Programs: Young Women's Program

The YWCA recently surveyed over 300 young women to find out what support they needed on their leadership journey. Emphatically, they said they wanted to:

• Build their confidence & self-esteem
• Develop their skills
• Build their networks
• Be supported and guided by other women who could act as role models.

In response, the YWCA has developed a Young Women’s Leadership Program – where experienced women will provide training, networking and mentoring support to younger women.
The She Leads Conference kicks-off this program.

YWCA SHE Leads Conference 2012

"Breaking Through the Glass Ceiling"

Are you a young woman in the early stage of your career with your eye on leadership?

Does your employer know that an investment in your professional development now will have economic benefits for your organisation in the future?

YWCA of Adelaide proudly presents its inaugural young women's leadership Conference SHE Leads, at the Adelaide Town Hall on Friday 17 August 2012.

Keynote addresses from Federal Minister Kate Ellis, former World YWCA President Susan Brennan, and Chief Executive of the Leaders Institute of SA Niki Vincent will provide you with a global, national and local perspective on why we need to invest in your leadership journey.

Facilitated by Mia Handshin and featuring break-out sessions from experienced women on the topic 'What I Wish I Knew When I Was 22', you will walk away from SHE Leads inspired, motivated, connected and with a strong sense of your leadership direction.

If you are employed, you are encouraged to speak to your employer about funding your participation at the SHE Leads Conference.

YWCA's year long SHE Leads Program will follow on from the Conference. If you register for the Program, your Conference fee is included.
