Volunteer

Internationalr Women of Wisdom

Mentoring and coaching women to reach their full potential positively impacts families and empowers communities. Internationalr Women of Wisdom was founded by Dene’ to facilitate and support women inrnvarying stages of life to mentor and support each other in non- competitive environments. Exploring philosophical dilemmas and exchanging ideas, acknowledging each other for demonstrating positive growth, celebrating successes, and practicing personal changework during each meeting provides a supportive environment for women of all ages to thrive in their personal and professional lives.

NeoKorum

Young men and women between the ages of 18 and 25rnwant to have fun. They are also often isolated from significant adult guidance because of broken families or other reasons. The NeoKorum program founded by Dene’ combined fun (boating on a lake) with mentoring from local leaders from business, spiritual, and government sectors. By challenging the participants to explore contemporary issues in a ‘salon’ format while maintaining respect for differing points of view, participants enjoyed picnicking and swimming after a wrap-up from the on-board local expert in the field of the participant’s presentation. Participants developed leadership skills, broadened their knowledge base and learned to exercise increased flexibility. Community leaders were happy to contribute to the growth and welfare ofrnyounger adults. This program ended in 2004 due to time and travel constraints.
