Let’s stay connected.

The Y-WE Alum program emerged in response to Y-WE graduates wanting to stay connected with the organization through events and programs that were specific to the challenges they were facing in their current lives such as budgeting, university support, adult peer to peer mentorship, parenthood, and more.

Through seasonal cohorts, one-on-one mentorship, gatherings, and retreats we have been able to offer diverse and impactful programming that enriches the lives of our alums who are artists, advocates, leaders, and change-makers located throughout the country.
