The Women of Power Network, Inc. (WOPN) is a federally registered 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization designed to provide mentoring services to teenage girls attending a public high school in the Greater New Haven area of Connecticut.
WOPN is committed to addressing the educational and social development needs of public high school girls; bridging the gap between students receiving a quality educational experience and students at risk due to social issues plaguing our inner cities. We offer leadership and professional development resources, educational resources and tools to aid students as they take an active role in planning and preparing for college.
Our overarching goal is to guide young girls into womanhood, with the assistance and support of our mentors who live and work in the community. Through our Developing Leaders Mentor Match Program, each student is partnered with two strong intelligent mentors; a successful professional career woman and a college student in good academic standing. These mentors provide students with educational support and professional guidance that will teach them how to create opportunities for academic success, develop their unique abilities and talents and use them to transform their communities and communities around the world.
We seek to improve the graduation rate of female students attending public high school and ensuring acceptance into four year colleges or universities in Connecticut and throughout the United States.
Each student is enrolled in our Developing Leaders Scholarship Fund Program. This program will assist students and parents in identifying, locating and applying for educational scholarships for college. Upon completion of the program, students will receive the Women of Power Network, Inc Educational Scholarship for successfully completing our three year Developing Leaders Mentor Match Program.
