Project Accelerate

Project Accelerate prepares underrepresented young women for college and careers through mentorship, paid internships, and professional skill-building that expands access, confidence, and long-term economic mobility.

Project Accelerate addresses systemic barriers facing underrepresented young women by providing a multi-year pathway that combines mentorship, paid internships, and structured career-readiness support from high school through college and early career stages. Participants gain professional skills, social capital, and access to high-growth industries while receiving responsive supports that enable persistence. Through employer partnerships and sustained engagement, the program equips young women to navigate critical transitions, build economic mobility, and disrupt cycles of inequity.
