About Us

Women and Youth Supporting Each Other, or WYSE, is a national mentorship organization and project of  Community Partners. WYSE is dedicated to strengthening the lives and communities of young women of color through a curriculum based, group, and one-on-one mentorship program.  The program strives to address key issues that can contribute to a woman’s empowerment, including teen pregnancy prevention, conflict resolution, healthy lifestyle adoption, and future options awareness.

Since its inception in 1992, WYSE has grown from a single branch at UCLA to 12 branches at 12 universities nationwide.  Over the last decade, we have enabled over seven hundred college women to gain the insights and skills necessary to become life-changing mentors.  We have also provided over one thousand girls with the resources and support necessary to make informed, healthy decisions and take leadership roles in creating community change.
