We are the Young Women Social Entrepreneurs of Los Angeles (YWSE LA) – a sassy, business-savvy group of Wonder Women who join forces to create community, forums, brunches, retreats, lectures, workshops, and occasionally a ladies-night-out.
Our Goals:
• To provide an environment in which women's visions and goals are affirmed, supported, promoted, and propelled.
• To serve women with a socially conscious agenda, who are young at heart, and entrepreneurial in their thinking - whether in their own business or at their jobs.
Our Mission:
• To bring women to the highest positions of leadership in business, government, and social and environmental work.
• To promote young women social entrepreneurs by providing training and development, access to resources, networking opportunities, and general support for our members.
Our Core Values:
• Desire and passion lead our decisions and roles.
• We practice full authenticity and honesty with one another and ourselves.
• We listen deeply.
• We value and enjoy the process as well as the product.
• We intend our YWSE experience to serve us every step of the way.
• We are accountable and responsible for our contributions, strengths, and weaknesses as individuals.
• We work in collaboration and consensus, valuing each woman's wisdom.
• We act with integrity, aligning this work with our deepest values.
• We practice intimacy, sisterhood, and respect to stay connected and effective as a team.
• We act for the good of the whole (including ourselves, the Board, YWSE's membership, and the world).
• We trust in one another and ourselves, and in the synergy of opportunities and challenges that arise for us as an organization.
• We believe in the abundance of resources, time, and opportunities.
• We bring levity to our work and have fun!
