Young Women’s
Leadership
Program
Globalization, Leadership, and I
In 2008, Scranton Women’s Leadership Center created a leadership
program specifically for young college students from the U.S. The
first group consisted of 9 college students and last year the number
doubled to a total of 21 participants. Every year, the scale of the
program is increasing to cultivate global leadership. Through the
awareness of global issues and with the shared responsibility to
create change, a global network of young women leadership is
formed between Korea and the USA.
