Unstoppable Women Scholarships

Over 300 Unstoppable Women Challenge Scholarships, the Unstoppable Women Transformation Kit, were distributed to women and girls. These individuals came from various backgrounds of disadvantaged circumstances including living in transitional or abuse shelters across

Cynthia Kersey gave a workshop for the women at the Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles, CA with Director of Women’s Program Services, Roslyn Turner-Clark.
Cynthia joined a group of 28 executive women at Camp Sugar Pine, operated by the Girl Scouts of the San Francisco Bay Area, for Camp CEO. The goal was to connect with, inspire and mentor 28 teenaged girls, mostly from the lower end of the economic scale.

the U.S.  This kit included the Unstoppable book and CD’s to support women to move beyond survival and into self-sufficiency.

Research indicates that most women living in transitional shelters lack the foundational assets and tools to rise to their potential, move them out of their particular circumstance or fulfill their goals and dreams. The Unstoppable Foundation has recognized this critical need and has created the UWC Scholarship project which includes personal development products and services, to support these women in making positive changes in their life and to help break the cycle of poverty and dependence.

Led by Girl Scout Chief Executive Officer Joyce Richards and Robin MacGillivray, president of SBC Communications Inc. the women and girls rode horses, shot arrows, swam, danced, conspired in team-building games, gobbled s'mores and sang around the campfire.

Cynthia led a seminar with the girl providing them with inspiration, books and materials on how they could be Unstoppable in achieving their goals and dreams once leaving the event. Cynthia recalls, “I was invited to attend this event to inspire the girls. Instead, I walked away with a deep sense of inspiration and awe from these girls! Their optimism and commitment to their future was exciting to witness. It was an amazing week!”
