This group empowers young women to explore life beyond our lifestyles. Our mentors they teach us about taking charge, learn new aspects in our community, and to even take on new adventures with us. I feel that this program needs to be in middle schools, because I feel that they'll enjoy it as well as high school students, because in middle school is when were mostly exposed to college, life decisions and transforming into future leaders of america.

This is my second year in Women of Tomorrow. My mentors are amazing women who always know just the right thing to say. I have grown as a woman and as a being so much because of them. They have helped guide me and helped to create tactics to overcome my fears or solve my problems in everyday life. I have learned how to be taken more seriously as a woman and how to take up more space. These women impact my life and what they do for young girls is absolutely amazing. I hope to do the same one day

I had a wonderful experience with the Women of Tomorrow program last year and I'm definitely looking forward to continuing my experience this year. In the past year I have learned a lot about different careers, people I go to school with and even learned more about myself. I'm glad I got to meet my mentors and hear about their personal lives and stories, while they influenced us in the most positive of ways. The field trips are just a plus, the real fun happens within the walls of the school with great people.

Women of Tomorrow propelled my confidence in high school. My mentor was a phenomenal woman who was brilliant and motivating. The WOT also shaped me in becoming a leader. I shadowed an executive at Telemundo Studios in Miami for an entire summer and was awarded a scholarship for my undergraduate studies. After receiving my Bachelor's in Advertising from the University of Florida, I pursued my degree in law. Women of Tomorrow served as a foundation and gave me the opportunity I never thought I could have. This organization prepares women to become the best version of themselves and excel in many levels in society. Upon completing my degree, I plan on returning the favor to this amazing group of women and becoming a mentor for our high school girls. More high schools need organizations like this to promote healthy images of what women can achieve in the community.

They helped me realize how to detect if you're in a abusive relationship and that it's not always physical abuse. They helped me realize the college I should go to and the financial state I would need to be in if I go there. They helped me realize more reasons why I should go into the medical career. Most importantly, they're like a family to me, it's not just a room full of strangers, we all have a story and as time goes on everyone works up the courage to tell there's.

This is my last year in Women of Tomorrow, so I can honestly say that I have shared some great experiences over the past years. Being a female, Women of Tomorrow empowered me to raise my standards and focus on my education. The mentors bring in accomplished women to speak to us about how they became the powerful women that they are today. Also, we get to go on a field trip every year to wherever we like (for example, last year we went to visit the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric science).

Well WOT had really made a difference in my life. The fact that it provides me with the opportunity to network with girls around my age it also allows me to ask for guidance in a trusted environment. I feel as if I had never been introduced to this program I might not have solved certain critical situations without the insight of others who already experienced it in the group I probably would ha e made the wrong decision.

This mentoring program has not only uplifted me, but it has helped me motivate myself and explore. I am able to socialize, participate and also embrace. My grades are great, I plan on joining some activities such as Club Volleyball and a sorority. Ever since I've graduated high school, I have told many of my younger classmates to join WOT and explained how it has impacted my life and them as well. I went from low self-esteem to happiness, I am very proud of my self. Motivation is the key to the heart.

This program was pretty great when it came to bringing successful women in to talk to us. The only problem I had was that there were barely any women of color that were available for us to look up to.

This organization also brought together girls from all walks of life in my school to help us all get to know eachother better.

I've only been in the club for one school year but each session I enjoyed thoroughly because in each meeting I was able to learn something new and it's helpful because I can apply it later in life. Thus, the field trips were some of the best parts of the club because not only did I get to learn but I was able to experience some different fields of some career areas, I hope we can do this more frequently because I truly enjoy it. thank you WOT

This mentorship program has a good idea going on especially when it comes to inspiring young girls and motivating them to become role models. I truly appreciate that it's big but at the same time some sort of small club where it's easier to come together, mingle, and really focus on each other. I love the scholarship opportunities given, and again that it benefits the members unlike most scholarships where we're competing against a whole nation. The field trips gave me inside scoop of the alumni women and their careers.

Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship Program is not an organization that only give out scholarships but it also help students to find out what they want to be in life and help them succeed.
We have great mentees that help us a lot and we also have guest speakers that come to talk with us about several subjects.
We go on field trips and also we trust our mentee with the information that they are giving to us.

Women of Tomorrow has made me gain confidence towards myself. I no longer allow others to bring me down because my mentor has showed me how beautiful and important I am to this world. Not only that, I also learned a lot about etiquette, the importance of first impressions, and how to prepare for a good job interview. It's a true blessing being apart of Women of Tomorrow.

Being a part of this lovely organization really helped open my eyes more to the real world. It was nice to be able to meet adults that went through a tough past but made it through and are now a successful person. That made me realize that you can become whatever it is you want to become but it is up to yourself to make the change. This organization is outstanding, not only do they donate but also support anyone who needs support. All in all, this organization is definitely one of the best!

The women of tomorrow scholarship mentor program has really exceeded my expectations over the last two years in which i was a member. Every mentor whether it be a profesor from a college, advising seniors as they graduate, or an understanding school board member, has all in one way or another, made school a little easier for girls who may already be having a tough time. The program in general is purposeful, caring and made to benefit future members and leaders of many communities.

This year, I believe that Women of Tomorrow helped me overcome some of the inferiorites I had developed as a young girl growing up in a fast-paced city. Before taking part in the Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship Program, I was unsure of how to act in many situations I expected to encounter as an adult. I wondered, "When doing business with multiple male associates, do I shake their hands? Is that weird because I'm a girl?" Questions like, "How do I decide if a Facebook post is inappropriate?" or "How do I know when an acquaintance has gone too far, said too much?" plagued me. But with the help of my two mentors I was able to smooth away these insecurities and worries. Today, I'm the first to extend my hand for a handshake, and I'm proud to say that I give a pretty good one.

Women of Tomorrow has truly given me the encouragement and information I need to succeed in my future. My mentor, Robyn Perlman, has opened my eyes to the inequality that still exists in the world and has helped me develop a personal plan to combat it. She has taught me everything from how to get out of bad situations, like an abusive relationship, to how to just relax once in a while and just breathe.
With her support, I know that as a woman entering the male-dominated fields of math and the sciences, I will be able to rise above the challenges thrown at me. With the lasting friendships I've built with my fellow Women of Tomorrow mentees, I feel confident that I can truly do anything if I have the motivation and I have the backing of many amazing future women leaders.

I have seen first hand young girls who have no self respect or belief in them selves. They do not realize their worth or their intelegence. This program is doing a great job of letting these girls know that there is a way they can go to school and turn their life around. It gives them hope. That is what young people need. They need to realize they can come out of a bad place and make something of themselves. They need someone to believe in them and give them courage to make something of them selves. I believe this progran is one of a kind. I hope this progran gets bigger and gos on forever. It really is making a difference in this world............

I just completed my 7th year of mentoring for WOT. It is very rewarding to be involved in the growth and blossoming of high school girls who work to get their grades up, complete community service hours and want to do something with their lives after they graduate. Five out of the six seniors I mentored this year received scholarships - four of them through Women of Tomorrow and one for basketball.

My girls all come from challenged backgrounds. Some will be the first to graduate from high school in their families. My goal is to help them believe in themselves and be exposed through WOT field trips and guest speakers (professional women) to go after goals.

The mentors that are present at every meeting go above and beyond to coach, set the example, and to model excellence.

I have been a mentor for the past five years. It is a privilege to work with the young high school women, to hear their stories and points of view. I believe I get more than I could possibly give. These young women have all the tools to succeed in life, possibly with the exception of having someone who is non-judgemental and will listen. Women of Tomorrow provides these young women just this opportunity. They have a place and people who will listen, not judge and encourage.
To make it even better, there are scholarships to earn and the requirements are known from day one and are not hard to achieve.

Women of Tomorrow provides female high school students the opportunity to learn what they can achieve and the potential financial assistance to help them achieve their dreams.

This year one of my students in Women of Tomorrow, Emily Anne Vargas, was impacted tremendously by being involved in the program. Not only did she receive a scholarship for the school of her choice but she also got to wear a new prom dress for her senior prom. If that sounds exciting, that's not the best part. Emily met Miami Heat player, Lebron James! His fiancé, Savannah donated new dresses to the girls in Women of Tomorrow attending prom. It was a great experience for Emily and all the girls who attended that event.

This scholarship program chooses young girls that are ambitious to succeed in college and their careers but cannot financially do so. They provide tips and learning strategies that will aid young women in their lives. This program provided successful women speakers that motivated and gave their life stories to achieve the work position they are in today. It also provided field trips to colleges and work environments to show young girls where their motivation can lead them. What's more spectacular about this organization is that it helps girls deal with struggling issues they face in school and their personal lives too. The Women Of Tomorrow offered me a chance to join their program and when I first joined I was a very shy and meek girl. Near the end of my experience I found my voice and became a confident young woman that I thought I would have struggled a lot longer in my life to find. Their scholarship has helped me a great deal and I am now a college freshman studying anthropology and having a great new experience in my life.

I have had a lifetime experience with Women of Tomorow. The organization took us on college tours to visit different colleges across Florida and I have to say that it is because of that experience that helped me to pick the college that I am now attending, the University of Florida. Another thinh that I appreciate about this organization is that it provides scholarships to students who really needs it. I have also benefited from its funds.

Women of Tomorrow gave a $2,500 scholarship towards my first year of college at my university. I never really thought about the magnitude of expenses that i would have to pay while attending college for the first time. the money was just an overwhelming gift to receive, this aside from financial was primary assistance. if i had not got the scholarship for Miami International University from Women of Tomorrow, i really would not have been able to attend. In my second semester i created a garment out of chocolate wrappers and one third place, many people at my school were amazed because i won so early in my year. If women of Tomorrow had not helped me, i would not be in my fashion degree major for my bachelor's degree. Women of Tomorrow really changed my life during high school, one of the most memorable moments was when we were receiving etiquette courses. We then went to the Mandarin Oriental hotel, where we saw luxury that the girls may have never have another opportunity to experience. i myself was heavily impacted, aside from the luxury I had sushi for the first time (well I attempted I couldn't pick it up). There was a great message that opened my eyes , the program was not telling us the get rich and live luxurious. Rather they were opening our eyes to show us what is around us, we gave have luxury or prosper in science or be the first women to accomplish something great. they were showing girls the world in a way they may not have seen, i'm a middle class citizen and we have finances to meet our needs but tis mot a luxury. i have seen both ends of having little and a lot. If i had not been in this program i wouldn't have realized so much of the doors i could walk into for my future.

Knowing that there is a group of girls around my age whom I can talk to about anything is refreshing. They don't judge, they don't spread what happens in the group meetings. Our policy, "What happens between our group stays between our group". Our mentor is very understanding and willing shares her experience with us to help see that she was once like us. Which is helpful in my opinion.

I had been in the Women of Tomorrow Program during my four years in high school. During the meetings I met a lot of young women like me who had problems and thought they were the only ones. Together, we overcame numerous obstacles, as well as shared lots of laughter and experienced fun times. Now, I graduated college, but I still remember those meetings very clearly and am glad I participated in them.

I met a woman who's niece was told about the work of WOT. Her niece then applied to take part in the program and has since earned a scholarship. Her family was so happy to know what a difference the program has made in her life. If not for the scholarship, she may have not continued her education.

Women of Tomorrow is a phenomenal organization that provides great service and leadership to the young ladies in our community! The mentors, who's professional careers represent each of the major career pathways identified by the US Labor Department, are not only trailblazers making a difference in their respective industries, but are also trailblazers forging the pathways for the young mentees to follow. What an amazing feat to not only rise to positions of prominence running major corporations, but to also help mold and guide a cadre of young women who will be prepared to lead our country well into the 21st Century.


As an educator, I salute those mentors who have taken on the challenge to work side-by-side with parents and educators making a difference in the lives of our children!

I have been in WOT since my freshman year of high school and I am really glad that I joined. We have a policy of "what is said in the group stays in the group" and I've been able to both listen to and share personal experiences with my group that I know will never leave the room. This has helped me to let go of stressful experiences and maybe even laugh about them. Overall, the group is a great place for a girl to be able to let loose with other girls their own age, who are possibly going through similar situations, and get advice to solving their problems.

I'm really glad I was able to have this experience in high school and i wish more high schools offered W.O.T. for girls. What made it so special for me was not necessarily the activities but the fact that so many people were willing and eager to get involved and mentor young girls aside from their work and lives.

I have volunteered for WOT and have watched first hand a young girl who was clearly headed in the wrong direction, turn her life around. She came from a very difficult set of circumstances and felt that even some of her teachers did not care about her future. As a WOT volunteer mentor I was able to show her that WOT not only cares about her but truly believes in her future and will do our best to help her to achieve her dreams. She was able to overcome the odds, attend the University of Florida and will graduate this year!!! This is only one of MANY stories of the impact WOT is having on these young women, who would otherwise be overlooked and trapped by their circumstances.

Women of Tomorrow has assigned two mentors to my high school. As the faculty sponsor for the group of girls served, I have been amazed and impressed by the ladies who come to visit each month for the mentoring sessions. As a result of these monthly visits, I have seen the girls transform from being 'street' to being ambitious and hopeful. Girls who had no personal examples of successful women in their lives, now had an attorney and a business owner who made time on a regular basis to share with them and provide guidance and encouragement. Just knowing that these mentors care about them and are committed to them ALLTHROUGH high school has had such a tremendous impact. The basis of this program is remarkable. WOT is truly making a difference, one young woman at a time.

I have been involved with WOT since its inception. I'm also involved in many other charitable and civic organizations but, WOT truly stands out because you can actually see that you are helping to change someone's life. Our statistics also prove that it does make a difference: through improved grades, greater graduation rates, enchanced self-esteem and more entries into higher education.

We are now in the midst of expanding to other states so that our program can enrich the lives of more young ladies.

Tynesha,

"Being a member of Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship Program in High School were some of the best years of my life. This program is not only great in helping young ladies become successful in their lives and in school, but is also great in changing lives for the better. This program sees needs that must be met in some way, so the women in this program embrace the young ladies of tomorrow and welcome them in with open arms, concern and true dedication in trying to help them. These inspiring women does not focus on one's race, gender or ethnicity background but simply on trying to feel the need in which ever young lady's life they encounter. I personally am now a freshmen in college and I can truly say that this program should not be taken for granted for it most definitly stands true to it's foundation. That is helping, encouraging and uplifting young ladies that are in need everywhere. Letting them know also to not forget about the women that helped them thus far but to remember what was done for them and return that gratitude and apprciation back to not only the program but to the other young ladies of tomorrow that are coming up behind them. Women of Tomorrow touched my heart as well as my legal guardian's heart which is my aunt and helped us also to understand that there is hope, that we didn't have to worry about how we were going to pay for school or what comes next when I made it to the collegian level. This program should be recommended to every young lady and I'm sure each and everyone that becomes a part of the Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship Program will as well as their parents have some since of security within themselves, but they must put forth effort, get involved, and apply themselves to whatever given task(s) that are presented to them and I'm sure everything will turn out okay if not great.

Women of Tomorrow is an exceptional program that changes lives. It allows young women who participate to reach their full potential and beyond. It is through skilled leadership and dedicated mentors that this program has bacome a template for other aspiring groups. The financial impact to our community has been dramatic by lowering drop out rates and allowing hundreds of girls to attend college. Truly remarkable and I'm proud to be associated with it!

They bring in valuable speakers, have self-esteem enrichment games, and provides just a fun, comfortable setting for the girls in our school to be nurtured and supported. They've helped me write essays and guided me on my college tour. Thank you so much WOT for everything you've done! I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for you guys.

This organization has reached into the fundamental need for role models, for mentoring, for encouragement and has learned how to instill the "I can do it" belief in the young women who are lucky enough to have been chosen to participate in the program.

The graduation rates, the number who go on to higher education, and the success stories are stunning. I will do all I can as a member of the public, to further the efforts of Women of Tomorrow.

It was a blessing to have been able to be a part of this magnificant group. At the end of senior year, they have the scholarship awards reception, were they donate a lot scholarship money to those girls who are in need of it. Once again, i am very thankful to WOT for everything they do everyday to help out our women to have a better tomorrow.

I have been a Women of Tomorrow Mentor for two years with the same group of young ladies in an inner city program. I see these girls blossom before my eyes, becoming more engaged in the world at large through the experiences that WOT affords them. With our program of guest speakers in the classroom and field trips away from school to experience both advanced academics beyond high school and potential jobs in a real life work place, these girls are learning about careers to which they would normally have no exposure. For some of my girls, just gaining the confidence to speak with an adult that comes from a different background than they are used to is a maturing experience that helps them ask for help to reach their goals. My group has perfect attendance this year.

I'm a freshman at the University of Florida. First of all, I dont think that I would have made it successfully to UF if I didnt join the Women of Tomorrow in high school. I started high school with a low self esteem and little friend. I didnt have confidence in myself and often felt unworthy of certain opportunities. One of my teachers suggested that I join Women of Tomorrow and I'm glad she did. When I graduated from my high school, I was the Women of Tomorrow president and had a lot of confidence in myself. The organization helped me develop long-lasting friendships with girls around my age, set realistic goals for myself and always make sure to be a sophiscated, respectful woman. With the changes that the organization helped me to make in my life, I felt obliged to return the favor by helping other girls change for the better. Along with the emotional help, I also received a resonable amount of financial support to assist with my college expenses. I'm so grateful for this organization and I hope every young lady takes advantage of the womderful provisions that WOT offers.

WOT is a beautiful organization that made my high school experience even more enriched! I was introduced to professional women across many fields for life-changing experiences that caused me to believe in myself and what I can achieve. WOT even gave my friend Emanuella (who was also a member of WOT) a scholarship for school when she really needed it. I think every young female, and adult as well, can benefit from the empowerment generated within the WOT community. This is why I believe that these funds who do the most good at WOT!

Sometime we would collect items for children or mothers in need. We leanred how to write resumes and how to go on an interview and dress professional. We also went on many field trips and gained knowledge about different organizations and places. Women of Tomorrow also gave me a scholarship for the nursing program in Miami Dade College. All the oraganized events were great. Our mentors were always there to help us and teach us new things. I would advise all the women to join this organization. I loved it.

Young adulthood can be difficult for many girls striving to succeed against all odds. As a volunteer in the Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship program, I have been given wondrous opportunities to meet and gain a relationship with brilliant and confident women that help to empower at-risk young women. The members of this program are highly dedicated, motivated, and committed to us young women. Similar to a family, they are open to give real experiences and advice about important topics that affect numerous young women such as career choices, tough decisions, insecurities, goals, dreams, school, etc.
This program has personally altered my personal career goals and desires to strive for the “best of the best.” The program has provided me with a strong foundation to become a highly accomplished woman dedicated to intelligence and success. They enable us to speak about our personal feelings and thoughts in order to become a well-rounded individual. This program and their members have facilitated the development of my goals and dreams and I am highly appreciative of their efforts. I continue to motivate other young intelligent women to gain the experiences and opportunities that I was privileged to receive.
