Mentorship

The Executive Women's Alliance implemented the Women of Vision (WOV) Mentoring Program at the Conroe High School (CHS), Conroe, Texas in 2007. Our goal is to educate female high school students by providing positive role models, demonstrating wise life choices, and empowering students to reach their goals.

The emphasis of Women of Vision is to improve the self-esteem and self image of female high-school students through presentations, discussions and etiquette classes. Students gain exposure to a variety of educational and career opportunities, and learn to take responsibility for their own successes.

The program is designed to mentor two groups of thirty-five students : 9th and 10th grades, and 11th and 12th grades. Students are required to make and keep a commitment tomonthly meetings and scehduled activities. Meetings are designed to educate mentees in the many post high school educational and career opportunities available. Plans and processes involved in potential oppotunity are also presented. The four year program specifically targets students who have a desire to achieve but who need encouragment and professional assistance to realize their goals.

At minimum, one program per year is designed to guide our Women of Vision to use their time and talents to benefit others in our community.

Applications are available through the high school counseling office.
