About EL Grow

Many talented young people with determination and ambition lack the skills required in today’s professional world — confident English communication, professional email writing, virtual collaboration, and digital workplace tools. These are not intelligence gaps; they are opportunity gaps.

At Enabling Leadership, our Program Associates, Apprentices and Alumni from underserved communities have already overcome immense barriers to earn their place in the workforce. With the guidance of a mentor, they can build the confidence and skills to thrive.

EL GROW is Enabling Leadership’s corporate mentoring initiative that connects professionals like you with these young people taking their first steps into the workplace.
