The United Way Women United Program



An experienced executive in the infrastructure and transportation industries, Michelle Pourciau heads MP Synergy in Washington, D.C., as its president. To give back to the community, Michelle Pourciau supports a number of causes, including the United Way Women United program, which includes more than 70,000 women working to create new opportunities for other women across the United States.

One of the key focuses of the Women United program is teaching leadership skills to new generations of young minds. To this end, the program supports Girls Today, Leaders Tomorrow, an initiative that offers mentoring, college preparatory guidance, and academic support to young women in grades seven through 12. Participants connect directly to local women leaders, who help them develop skills and forge a positive path forward.

Since the program was initiated, more than 400 girls have participated. Through the program, these girls had the chance to explore colleges, hear from successful women, and get connected to more than 100 female leaders. The mentorship offered through the program helps young girls gain the confidence to set high goals and develop the skills necessary to become strong leaders.
