Success Stories
Women Walking West (W3) depends heavily on the work and commitment of its volunteer mentors who are selected based on their level of education and their academic or industrial experience. The approval process to accept a volunteer mentor is comprehensive in order to make sure they are competent in their field of expertise and also possess a high level of integrity that matches the values established by W3. When women contact W3, they are assigned to a Mentor that will monitor and assist in their progress until each woman’s goal is met. Below are examples of services provided by Women Walking West:
