The Women’s Technology Empowerment Centre (W.TEC) recently inaugurated its 3rd Girls Advisory Council. The Girls Advisory Council comprises alumnae from W.TEC’s She Creates Camp, serving as a dynamic extension of the W.TEC Board.
This council is tasked with the responsibility of providing insightful advice on youth-centric initiatives and fostering a robust framework for sustained alumnae engagement on behalf of W.TEC. By actively involving past participants in current programs, W.TEC aims to cultivate a future where alumnae take on leadership roles and eventually assume ownership of W.TEC, ensuring the organization’s long-term sustainability.
The Girls Advisory Council embodies W.TEC’s commitment to empowering young women, nurturing their growth, and preparing them to steer W.TEC’s mission forward, creating a legacy of empowered and capable leaders.
