Empowering Women
We believe that women can accomplish anything when they are equipped with the resources and tools necessary to thrive. Our programs strive to develop women as experts in their fields and to support them with mentorship, workforce training, and the skills necessary to become strong leaders in their respective industries. Designed to provide participants with a flourishing and supportive community and network of mentors and peers, our strategic partners are working alongside us to create a pipeline of talented individuals who are confident, bold, innovative, growth-mindset oriented, and committed to inspiring future generations.

What does it mean to be BOLD?
Our BOLD programs focus on giving individuals the tools and opportunities they need to thrive, and to build a community around them that amplifies their impact. This looks different across the fields our BOLD program operates in, but the core of each program is about allowing proven leaders to showcase their success and bring others alongside in their upward trajectories.
