Club 360, whose tagline is “Women Giving Back Full Circle”, was formed in October 2020. The goal of the non-profit is to provide young women in the community with mentors, setting them up for success in their career paths. They range from mentoring women in their teen years to their early 20’s.
“We provide educational opportunities to the youth, fundraising, scholarships, and it’s also an opportunity for like-minded women to connect with one another,” said President Irene Field.
Tickets are $25 and all the money will benefit Club 360’S first ever endowment scholarship.
Ultimately, they want the young women they assist to know that you don’t have to have it all figured out just yet, and discovering your passion and career is a process.
“You may not know what you want to do, and that’s okay. We help provide mentors to help guide you. We have women who in our group that are more seasoned in their careers, and can help lift these young women up, ” said member Victoria Williams.
