Young Women Empowered • 2014 Sponsorship Information Packet 7
General Information 2015 Our Mission: 2015 marks Young Women Empowered’s 5th year of changing lives by mentoring young women to conquer personal challenges, set goals for their
future, and achieve college and career success, and make positive changes in their communities. Y-WE empowers young women from diverse backgrounds to step up as leaders in their schools, communities, and the world. Whom We Serve: Y-WE provides life skills and mentorship for girls in the greater Seattle area. We serve girls, 8th grade- 12th grade, and mentors, ages 19-70+. 80% of the girls and 60% of the adults are women of color, over 70% of the girls are from immigrant communities. Most of the program participants are from low-income families and cannot afford tuition for enrichment programs. Our youth and mentors also represent a myriad of family, sexual orientation, religious, political, and educational backgrounds. Program Impact: Y-WE girls work with their mentors to apply for college, jobs, and organize service projects. They receive over 100 hours of mentorship, which improves their academic achievement, self-confidence, public speaking, & leadership skills. Statistics show that the number one way to improve the world is to invest in young women; girls reinvest 90% of the resources back into their communities. Program Growth: In just 4 years, Y-WE has grown from serving 40 girls each year to serving over 400! Our budget has grown from only $30,000/year to $400,000/year to fund the increasing demand for our services. Currently there are more girls and mentors vying to enroll in Y-WE than we can accommodate. This means we are at an exciting point in our development where we must raise more funds and offer more programs! On February 26th 2015, we will host a dinner, auction, and entertainment fundraiser for 300 of our major supporters. Our goal is to raise $200,000 at the event. What we need: Y-WE is seeking cash sponsors, auction items & donations of appetizers, desserts, wine, beer, soda and grocery gift cards for our Ignite Dinner. Benefits of making a donation to your business: All donations are tax deductible and your business will receive recognition on all our web, social media, and event materials. You will also receive tickets to join us for the dinner.
Thank you for considering this investment in the power of young women! SAMPLES OF
