International Day of Education: Spotlight on Global Partners through ELCCF
In recognition of International Day of Education (January 24), The Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation (ELCCF) proudly celebrates the power of education in shaping lives and strengthening communities. As a company with a workforce of more than 80% women, The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) is committed to breaking down barriers to success for women and girls around the world.
An essential engine of this work is ELCCF, which, for nearly 10 years, has supported ELC’s values through global partnerships that help women and girls from under-resourced communities to enter, grow, and lead in the workforce.
FROM EDUCATION TO ECONOMIC SUCCESS
On this International Day of Education, ELC recognizes these organizations on the frontlines and their evidence-based solutions to tackle this global challenge in the communities where we live, work, and source.
In the United States, ELC and ELCCF have partnered with the Student Leadership Network and The Young Women’s Leadership Schools (TYWLS) for nearly 20 years to help girls and youth from underserved communities access essential skills and resources for lifelong success through personalized leadership development programs, college and career readiness initiatives, scholarships, internships, and mentoring. ELCCF funding helps support 2,400 TYWLS students in SL Network’s CollegeBound Initiative, a program that helps students enhance their awareness of and access to college and financial aid.
