Our Mission

CHANGING THE FACE OF LEADERSHIP BY ELEVATING THE VISIBILITY, INFLUENCE, AND CONTRIBUTION OF WOMEN

what we do

WHO WE HELP

We specialize in delivering high-impact programs that equip women and girls with the knowledge and tools they need to step into their full leadership potential. We also support the business and wider community in implementing attitudes and systems that champion women’s achievement and propel them into leadership positions.

HOW WE HELP

Our evidence-based programs remove personal barriers by growing confidence and developing leadership capacity. Our events, research, and thought leadership focus on identifying visible and invisible workplace barriers and sharing progressive practices. Our education awards and tuition support remove financial barriers for women who aspire to create better futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

our commitment

to equity, diversity, & reconciliation

Minerva believes in creating supportive, equitable, and diverse workplaces where everyone can thrive — no matter their gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, or disability status. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace and learning environment and ensuring everyone is treated respectfully so they can benefit from our programs, events, and resources.

The leadership of Indigenous women is important to us, and we are committed to building relationships with Indigenous communities and to learning and unlearning our own colonial practices. We strive to elevate the visibility, influence, and contribution of Indigenous women and two-spirit individuals who have been leaders in their communities since time immemorial.
