WeLEAD
The WeLEAD program was started in 2014 as a means to help immigrant and refugee women navigate post-secondary education and to prepare them to be economically and financially self-sufficient. It is the sister program to Girls Getting Ahead in Leadership (GGAL), whose program focus is on academic support and leadership training for 6th-12th grade girls.
