Join Director of Programs Andrea McCaskey and Upward alum

Maya Madden as they discuss Hood Feminism. You can purchase the book at Thank You Books, a local woman-owned bookstore in Crestwood.

You don't have to have read the book to join! Andrea and Maya will discuss themes like race, poverty, and intersectional feminism. We hope to see you there!

We hope you are finding light at the end of the tunnel as things start to open up after 15 pandemic months. One way you or a colleague can take charge is by applying to our Upward program. Applications are accepted through August 31st for the 2022 program year. 

The Upward early-career program leverages Momentum’s expertise and alumnae network to develop the next generation of talented leadership.

Upward is delivered in half-day sessions over a nine-month period from February to October. Program sessions are interactive, classroom-style and facilitated by training professionals and Momentum alumnae.

In between sessions, participants will complete assignments, meet with their co-mentoring group, and enjoy networking opportunities with experienced senior leaders.

“Upward has given me amazing tools to understand how to work more effectively and efficiently. It has also been inspiring to see so many women growing professionally while encouraging each other to continue digging deeper.”

–Heather Fox
