Young Warrior Woman Program

The Young Warrior Woman Program, is a dynamic mentoring experience created for young women who are ready to grow in confidence, clarity and direction.

This six-month program combines mentoring, practical life skills and wellbeing support to help you navigate the real challenges of early adulthood — whether that’s study, work, finances, relationships or figuring out your next step.

The program is designed to help you build independence, back yourself, and take ownership of your future.

Across six months, mentors and mentees come together each week for engaging life skills workshops and powerful sessions with inspiring women who have overcome challenges and built lives of purpose. You’ll gain practical tools, meaningful connection and the confidence to step boldly into the next chapter of your life.

“My Mentor has been an incredible source of support and guidance throughout my journey. She’s helped me see my strengths, even when I couldn’t, and has been there every step of the way as I work towards my goals. The connection we’ve built has given me the confidence to tackle challenges, and her life experience has provided me with valuable insights I wouldn’t have had on my own. I feel empowered knowing I have someone in my corner who believes in me and is genuinely invested in my growth.”

Who is the program for?

The Young Warrior Woman Program, is ideal if you are:

Open to guidance and support from strong, reliable female Mentors who are here to help you reach your goals.

Committed to connecting with your Mentor for at least one hour each week (whether that’s by text, in person, over the phone, or via Zoom).

Comfortable reaching out to the Warrior Woman team for support whenever you need it.

This program may not be the best fit if you:

We provide a safe and welcoming space for young women to share, learn, heal and grow. Each young woman is connected with a mentor as well as a network of diverse community-minded women who provide ongoing support and share their life experiences, resources and opportunities:

  • Connection to a safe, stable, and socially inclusive network of female role models to turn to for advice and ongoing support for the duration of the six-month program.
  • Connection to a non-judgmental group of young women who are facing similar challenges.
  • Connection to Kindred Warrior Peers, young women who have experienced challenges in life and have gone on to achieve life success.
  • Weekly one-to-one mentoring sessions with a safe mentor.

We teach young women the life skills they need to succeed in everyday life. Our “teach a young woman to fish” approach gives them support and guidance at every step, knowing that true empowerment comes from them learning to do things for themselves. In particular, we focus on financial literacy and job readiness:

  • Life-skills workshops to build self-reliance.
  • A six-week Financial Literacy program (in partnership with MoneyGirl).
  • A four-week Job Readiness program.
  • Assistance in gaining and retaining meaningful employment.
  • Access to a range of vocational skills scholarships (e.g., Code Like a Girl) and internships.

Many young women experience trauma which negatively impacts their confidence, self-esteem and self-worth. We support and nurture the trauma healing process in safe psycho-educational workshops facilitated by experts. In these sessions, young women learn to engage with self-compassion, and to soften and contain threat-based emotions, such as fear and anxiety, anger, shame and self-criticism.
