Specialties
EmpowHERto is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping 14-21-year-old womxn and girls reach their fullest potential through three pillars: Independence, Leadership, and Confidence. We empower our members to become the next generation of leaders by partnering with community members to provide an array of resources including social events, mentorship, and entrepreneurial opportunities. EmpowHERto has been providing networking events for members of all ages since its inception. As the group grew, its founder, Janeen Brown, realized that in addition to networking events, she wanted to share knowledge, resources, and assist others in their own self-esteem journey, as other women have done for her. EmpowHERto seeks to become a resource centre that will fill the gendered leadership gap in our society by encouraging girls and womxn in finding their inner leadership capabilities. This, in turn, will help create a larger surplus of future female leaders. EmpowHERto knows that diversity is essential if we are going to deliver on our mission, and we seek to have a diverse network of female-identifying members and community partners. We value the experience and contribution of every individual in our network.
