Mission statement

At The Well 8th and 9th Grade Weekend Intensive seeks to empower young women locally to become effective leaders globally. By promoting excellence in education, young talent will transform their communities. We encourage girls to live beyond their limitations, achieve beyond their dreams, and impact communities beyond their reach.

Give your student a leadership advantage for the future.

At the Well 8th & 9th Grade Weekend Intensive (ATW) was created for young minority women out of a commitment to increase awareness of the essential tools required to aid them in becoming successful leaders. This program offers a glimpse of the two week At the Well Young Women’s Leadership Academy.  The Weekend Intensive serves current ninth grade students entering the tenth grade of high school that are from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. We seek to motivate students towards higher achievement in school and increased self-confidence. The program offers the following:

  • Challenging writing classes
  • Small group discussion
  • Leadership workshops
  • Self-awareness/Motivational presentations
  • Priority admission consideration to the two-week academy in the following year
