Women As Career Coaches is back!

For the first time in three years, we are very excited to announce that HIEC will be hosting an in-person Women As Career Coaches event that will bring together our community of young people and adult mentors for an impactful, inspiring and uplifting evening.

Women as Career Coaches is an evening event that brings together young women from the community with adult mentors from all pathways. Over dinner, youth and mentors have the opportunity to engage in informal mentorship conversations, listen to a line-up of inspiring spotlight speakers, and participate in a panel discussion on career pathways.

*Our first priority is that this is a free event for students. Although we are striving to make this an event that is widely accessible to the community, the rising costs of hosting an event make your contributions even more important. Please consider making a donation – without financial support, this event simply wouldn’t be possible. We can’t do it without you!*

Your support of Women as Career Coaches will help us continue our important mentorship work. Learn more about how you can get involved here.

What is Women As Career Coaches?

Imagine the power and potential of connecting young women with adult mentors in the community. Watch our video to get a glimpse of what this inspirational event is all about: sharing stories, making connections, and learning from others.

It was a truly an incredible and inspiring experience. This was a night that I will forever remember. I am beyond thankful to have gotten this privilege. I only wish that I had done this sooner. I hope to someday influence future generations, the same way this event has influenced me.

I enjoyed the variety of speakers and learning from their different experiences. The event inspired me to dream big and reiterated that anything is possible.

I enjoyed how friendly and open the event was. It was very easy to connect with other women and the key speakers were very inspirational.

I really enjoyed everything, but especially connecting with the students at my table and the other coaches as well—hopefully I’ve helped to inspire them as much as they have inspired me.

I hope everyone feels inspired to be themselves and create magic in their own lives from this experience.
