2017-Tuscaloosa Younger Women’s Task Force Mentoring Project
Beginning Spring 2017, YWTF Tuscaloosa chapter members from all professional sectors, will be available to formally mentor young professional women, college women and teens. Tuscaloosa YTWF Members continue to develop their leadership skills and invest in the lives of younger women and continue to uphold the chapter’s mission through this program. Tuscaloosa’s YWTF Mentoring Initiative hopes to continue empowering women through mentoring pairs and establish lasting relationships by positively impacting teen girls, young women, executive women and retired women in our community.
If you are a young professional or college woman in need of a one-to-one mentoring relationship and wish to be considered as a mentee with a one-to-one mentor from a member of the Younger Women’s Task Force of Tuscaloosa, please email ywtf.tuscaloosa@gmail.com for more information.
