Young Women on the Way

Young Women on the Way is a 10-month program geared towards mentoring young professional women. Five executive women will mentor 20 young professional women (23-30 years old) during a monthly luncheon focused on key topics to develop them personally and professionally.

At each monthly session, participants will get the opportunity to hear from a skilled industry professional from the Greater Augusta Region. Lunch will be provided. Some example topics are:

  • Personality and behavioral assessment
  • Workplace dynamics
  • Time management tips
  • Networking
  • Tough conversations in the workplace
  • Financial planning
  • Setting Goals
  • Community Service

Participants are selected through an application process and only one representative per company is selected for each class.
