About the Mentorship Program:

Ellevate Louisiana is proud to launch the second round of its Mentorship Program, built on our belief in the power of women empowering other women. Our organization brings together accomplished leaders from diverse industries and career stages.

Following a successful three-month pilot last spring, we are launching the program into a six-month initiative this fall. Members may serve as mentors or mentees, guiding each other through every stage of their unique professional journeys. Throughout the program, Ellevate Louisiana will provide support through training and preparation sessions, resource toolkits, and regular check-ins to ensure participants have the tools they need to thrive.

Together, we are cultivating meaningful connections that strengthen womens’ leadership across Louisiana.

 

Our Goal: Bringing together women from diverse industries and career stages to cultivate knowledge sharing, network building and empowerment.

Ellevate Values: Built on our belief in the power of women empowering women, we are cultivating connections that strengthen women’s leadership across Louisiana.

Program Outline: Over the next six months, members of Ellevate LA will serve as mentors and mentees, guiding each other through every stage of their unique professional journeys.

Our Support: Ellevate LA will provide training and preparation sessions, resource toolkits, and regular check-ins to ensure participants have the tools they need to thrive.
