These issues disproportionately impact women, particularly in developing countries. In nations recovering from conflict, the consequences of these global challenges are deeply gendered. An abundance of research indicates that when women participate equitably in decision-making, solutions to problems are more likely to impact all and last longer. To address gender inequality, SHE-CAN builds female leadership by empowering low-opportunity women from post-conflict countries to attend U.S. colleges and return home with leadership skills that allow them to positively influence their home communities and nations. With combined power and collective influence, SHE-CAN scholars create change that reverberates globally. 0 0 1775867 419020 2245513 ///Overview/// SHE-CAN's unique program focuses on low-opportunity young women from four post-conflict countries - Rwanda, Cambodia, Liberia and Guatemala. It begins with recruiting the best and brightest low-opportunity potential leaders through an extensive in-country vetting process, matching each with a team of 5 U.S. mentors who help her secure a U.S. college scholarship and flourish on campus. Throughout college, SHE-CAN equips scholars with leadership training, provides support with entrepreneurial projects, and widens their network at home to ensure they return ready to drive meaningful change. SHE-CAN partners with top U.S. colleges who commit to awarding full tuition, room & board scholarships. SHE-CAN covers all non-scholarship costs (flights, health insurance, computers, etc.). This alleviates any potential financial burden on the family. Our scholars come from families at the bottom of the socioeconomic pyramid - market sellers, farmers, teachers and factory workers - with an average family income of $4,477 (USD) per year. 13 of our 20 Guatemalan scholars come from Indigenous communities. Through our target population reached, SHE-CAN breaks endemic cycles of inequity. Since 2011, 131 SHE-CAN scholars have won full scholarships to selective U.S. colleges totaling over $40M. Our graduates are now stepping into influential careers, including roles such as Minister of State at Rwanda's Ministry of Infrastructure, Operations and Strategies Specialist at One Acre Fund Rwanda to fight deforestation in Africa, and Engagement Program Manager at Energy Lab Cambodia, actively growing the development of clean energy markets in Southeast Asia. ///Our Programs and Activities/// //Extensive In-Country Vetting// The SHE-CAN journey begins with an online application followed by a rigorous two-week, in-country recruitment process led by 3 staff members and 5 mentors. With nearly 500 applicants across Liberia, Guatemala, and Cambodia in 2024, SHE-CAN's in-country presence and scholar demand continues to grow. //Mentor Program// This program lies at the heart of our mission, pairing each scholar with a dedicated team of 5 U.S. mentors. These mentors provide emotional and practical support throughout the scholar's five-year journey. Assistance includes college application guidance, leadership coaching, internship and employment advising, academics, budgeting, and health and wellness. Mentorships evolve into lifelong relationships with networking, job placement assistance, family connection, and shared impact. //College Preparation// SHE-CAN provides each scholar selected with extensive country-specific college preparation courses and college academic and language exams for her college application. //Scholarship Coalition Colleges// We have cultivated relationships with 36 colleges that have provided scholarships covering full tuition plus room & board. A total of 17 of the 36 supportive colleges have made long term commitments to SHE-CAN ensuring they will hold a scholarship for one or more SHE-CAN scholars year after year. These 17 colleges make up our SHE-CAN Scholarship Coalition and include: Babson College, Beloit College, Bentley University, Bennington College, Bucknell University, Denison University, Gettysburg College, Lafayette College, Loyola University Chicago, Muhlenberg College, Occidental College, Reed College, Rhodes College, Scripps College, Syracuse University, University of Portland, and University of San Francisco. //Leadership Training/Experience// Leadership preparation is integrated into every stage of our program. The first step to becoming a SHE-CAN scholar is to complete a leadership project at home. They also receive extensive trainings including the CODA Leadership Program, engage in public speaking events, and participate in goal setting with their mentors. The pinnacle of our leadership training is our annual three-day, in-person Leadership Summit that takes place in the SF Bay Area. The summit allows scholars to meet leaders from our network who inspire and motivate them to be the kind of leaders our world needs to address impending crises. //Power to Fly// Power To Fly is our 140+ person volunteer corps that connects passionate volunteers with opportunities to help our scholars including: leading skills-based workshops, guiding in-country scholar projects, tutoring scholars who need extra academic support, etc. //Make a Change (MAC)// In 2022, SHE-CAN launched Make a Change to support scholars in delivering impactful projects in their home countries. Since its inception a total of 27 scholars have returned home during their summer breaks to complete impact projects. The program provides an average grant of $4,000 per scholar. Projects have included installing sustainable water pumps, building a library, and offering classes to preserve indigenous weaving techniques and native languages. This program will now become mandatory for all rising seniors and is incorporated into SHE-CAN's proposed Impact Leadership Initiative. 0 0 0 1775867 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 20 0 1 22 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X X Carol Chang 5102823993 100 Tiburon Blvd Ste 210 Mill Valley CA 94941 Barbara Bylenga Executive Director, Founder, Board Member 65 X X 142788 0 0 Carol Chang CFO, Board Member 20 X X 44375 0 0 Mary Jane Luck BOD President 5 X 0 0 0 Nancy Murphy BOD Secretary 5 X 0 0 0 Kristin Nicholson Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 Melanie Dulbecco Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Renee Bovelle Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 187163 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 895046 0 0 1632777 455320 2527823 0 17023 17023 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 109000 826834 88606 20394 0 20394 0 2565240 17023 0 20394 0 0 0 0 419020 419020 0 0 222163 130350 20296 71517 0 0 0 0 930274 755943 80910 93421 0 0 0 0 18632 15043 779 2810 90489 73058 3784 13647 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 182417 122148 9193 51076 33978 18814 0 15164 27186 10137 6423 10626 40025 32704 2457 4864 0 0 0 0 70580 49406 3529 17645 105278 99186 1870 4222 0 0 0 0 4587 4587 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7277 5594 349 1334 Events 41788 16262 0 25526 45984 23615 8083 14286 2239678 1775867 137673 326138 703669 686451 242002 505635 181881 0 0 0 0 16584 18740 0 0 962255 1392707 24335 47739 63587 145070 87922 192809 X 668832 575264 205501 624634 874333 1199898 962255 1392707 X 325562 0 0 0 0 3 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1026701 1103067 1504967 1853693 2544846 8033274 0 0 0 0 1026701 1103067 1504967 1853693 2544846 8033274 971725 7061549 8033274 0.87904 0.9109 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 Accrued Payroll Liabilities 145070 145070 2664646 0 10800 0 0 10800 2653846 0 -88606 -88606 2565240 2339084 10800 0 0 88606 99406 2239678 0 0 0 2239678 Schedule D, Part XI, Line 4b Fundraising Direct Expenses Schedule D, Part XII, Line 2d Costs of Direct Benefits to Donors In-country preparation classes and support fees in taking the ACT and TOEFL, flights to and from US College/University, school supplies, textbooks, health insurance, university fees, leadership training.
