Women Guiding Women

The Women Guiding Women Mentorship and Leadership Training Program (WGW) was initiated in January of 2007.  Since that time we have offered this semester-long program in four cycles to women from a myriad of fields of study and work.  The success has been outstanding with our protégées quickly defining their career goals, growing in self-confidence, and creating lasting relationships with mentors who help to build their leadership potential.  For mentors, this program has provided extensive professional development and networking opportunities. 

 Goals of Women Guiding Women

• To create positive mentoring relationships between U of C women students and women from the Calgary community
• To provide participants women-specific, collaborative leadership training that will help them to better understand their own career goals, increase their self-esteem and leadership potential, and empower them to make authentic life decisions;
• To develop women's networking circles comprised of successful women in the workforce as well as female students from a range of disciplines.
