Welcome to Women Walking West. Advancing Education for Women from Across the Globe.

Women Walking West (W3), is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to helping foreign-born women lead successful and fulfilling lives.

Women who come to the United States in pursuit of education often face great challenges due to cultural, linguistic, academic, and systemic barriers. W3’s philosophy is simple: every woman deserves access to the opportunities necessary to thrive in school and beyond.

To bridge these gaps, W3 provides targeted, individualized support to international female learners, connecting them with appropriate resources offering consistent one-on-one guidance. This hands-on approach empowers women to reach their goals.

How we support our mentees

W3 relies significantly on the dedication and expertise of its carefully selected volunteer mentors.
