STUDENTS SAY.

“SHE WORKS has shaped me in ways I can’t really explain. I have developed skills I did not know I was good at, I have gained confidence to make my thoughts valuable and heard, and I have learned to better work in a professional environment.”

Laura Angel

University of Connecticut Stamford · Rising College Senior

“As a first-generation college student, I did not have much guidance before this in terms of building my career and navigating unfamiliar spaces, so SHE WORKS was the perfect program for me to gain and strengthen my skills.”

Nadjasmine Rene

Brown University · Rising College Senior

“This internship match was absolutely perfect for me. I have grown in my confidence, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. I was able to establish meaningful connections with my peers and I feel more equipped to do so in the future.”

Shaynah Miralles Castro

University of Hartford · Rising College Senior

“SHE WORKS was instrumental in equipping me with the skills, mentorship, and opportunities I needed to thrive, not just in my internship but in any future professional endeavors.”
