DescIn 2022 WLE hosted its signature program, WLE Gathers, virtually and in-person in Las Vegas, NV with 40 WLE Fellows attending. WLE is the place for leadership development for self identifying women and nonbinary people within the New American Majority (NAM). This means people from a wide range of identities, backgrounds, experiences and geographic regions of the country. WLE works to shift the narratives about leadership, setting boundaries, self investment, self care and bringing these knowledge bases to communities that are often underserved and underrepresented. WLE Gathers met the needs of Belonging, Empowerment, Transformation and delivered services of Leadership Training, Mentoring, Continuing Education and Affinity Circles of Connection. In the first two Gathers trainings, we had 40 Fellows ranging in ages 21-65 - with 87.5% identifying as POC, 10% identifying as nonbinary, 25% identifying as LGBTQIA+, 52.5% were under the age of 35, and all representing 11 states and the District of Columbia. WLE recruited and trained 55 people from the NAM and communities of color to serve as mentors and individually matched them with WLE Fellows upon completion of the WLE Gathers program. Over 60% of WLE Mentors are members of NAM and all mentors and mentees made and completed commitments to meet one-on-one at least four times a year in person or virtually.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 2In 2022 WLE hosted its signature program, WLE Gathers, virtually and in-person in Las Vegas, NV with 40 WLE Fellows attending. WLE is the place for leadership development for self identifying women and nonbinary people within the New American Majority (NAM). This means people from a wide range of identities, backgrounds, experiences and geographic regions of the country. WLE works to shift the narratives about leadership, setting boundaries, self investment, self care and bringing these knowledge bases to communities that are often underserved and underrepresented. WLE Gathers met the needs of Belonging, Empowerment, Transformation and delivered services of Leadership Training, Mentoring, Continuing Education and Affinity Circles of Connection. In the first two Gathers trainings, we had 40 Fellows ranging in ages 21-65 - with 87.5% identifying as POC, 10% identifying as nonbinary, 25% identifying as LGBTQIA+, 52.5% were under the age of 35, and all representing 11 states and the District of Columbia. WLE recruited and trained 55 people from the NAM and communities of color to serve as mentors and individually matched them with WLE Fellows upon completion of the WLE Gathers program. Over 60% of WLE Mentors are members of NAM and all mentors and mentees made and completed commitments to meet one-on-one at least four times a year in person or virtually.
