The Young Women’s Leadership Schools and ELC: Advancing Possibilities for Girls

Published by The Estée Lauder Companies on October 12, 2023

At The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC), we know the possibilities are endless when we listen to girls and support them to learn, lead, and thrive.

In honor of International Day of the Girl (October 11th), we’re spotlighting incredible young women supported through our longstanding partnership with Student Leadership Network (SL Network) and The Young Women’s Leadership Schools (TYWLS).

In June, ELC joined TYWLS students, families, and faculty in Brooklyn and Queens to commemorate the graduation of the class of 2023. And in celebration of their infinite potential, we asked the graduates to reflect on the change they want to be a part of in the world. Here’s what they had to say.
