Our visitors for TYWLS Works

Saatchi & Saatchi got involved with The Young Women’s Leadership Schools  (herein known as TYWLS) in 2010. It’s been such a great experience, that the agency decided to increase our role in the program this year. Since the fall, we’ve participated in a number of TYWLS events, the most recent being  ‘TYWLS Works,’ which happened last Wednesday.

‘TYWLS Works’ is a career awareness program that introduces High School girls to the professional world. Saatchi NY hosted nine (awesome) female tenth graders at our Hudson/Houston offices, giving them some expose to the world of advertising.  The day included an overview of Saatchi & Saatchi, guest speakers, an agency tour and one-on-one job shadowing where each of our visitors got a sneak peek at the everyday of agency life.  The day was interactive, inspiring and extremely rewarding for everyone that participated.

MORE ON TYWLS

The Young Women’s Leadership Schools (TYWLS) is a network of high performing all-girls public schools created to provide economically disadvantaged girls with a high‐quality college-prep education. TYWLS serves predominately low‐income students from non‐college educated households who are most vulnerable to being denied college access. The TYWLS educational model offers a personalized “whole girl” approach that creates academic rigor, science and math‐focused educational opportunities, healthy adolescent development programs, leadership training, connections to the world, early college and career exploration, and college access.
