Women Mentorship Programs

Uplifting Women Through Connection, Confidence, and Community

At De Kultured Youth Foundation, we know mentorship is more than guidance—it’s a lifeline. Especially for women navigating systemic challenges, career shifts, or personal transitions, having someone in your corner makes all the difference. That’s why we’ve developed impactful, inclusive mentorship programs for women in Calgary, designed to help every participant grow through personalized support, shared experience, and strategic leadership development.

As a nonprofit deeply committed to empowering racialized and marginalized youth, our women’s initiatives are an extension of our mission: creating access, building networks, and offering real-world tools for success in life and work.

Why Mentorship Matters for Women

Mentorship fosters more than knowledge—it creates safe spaces, opens doors, and builds generational strength. For women, especially those in underserved communities, access to mentorship can shift life trajectories. Our women’s mentorship programs address not only skill gaps but also the confidence gap that often prevents women from stepping into leadership roles or launching their own businesses.

From beauty professionals and entrepreneurs to students and emerging leaders, we tailor each women’s mentorship program to meet individual needs and collective goals.
