THE FOUNDATION. OUR MISSION Prancing Ponies Foundation 501(c)3 mission is ‘Creating Women Leaders One Girl at a Time’. We accomplish this goal by teaching girls fundamental leadership skills that are vital for advancing to and succeeding in leadership roles. OUR COMMITMENT We are committed to using innovative methods of delivery to effectively teach leadership skills and competencies that increase self-esteem, selfconfidence, and critical thinking in girls. We are committed to creating a world inclusive of women in all levels of leadership within the engineering and automotive industries.
OUR GOAL Prancing Ponies Foundation will teach leadership skills to 1000 girls worldwide by 2020. Creating a community of future women leaders that receive lifelong support from Prancing Ponies Foundation and who give back to their community by mentoring and supporting their younger Prancing Sisters.
From our 2017 Academy Graduate Michelle Marcial: “I was a part of the first cohort of the Prancing Ponies Leadership Abroad Academy. Traveling abroad to begin with is already a big transition and this program will not be easy. However, you will learn a lot about your weaknesses, strengths, fears, discipline, goals, and ultimately perseverance. If I can emphasize anything it would be that this program is not a vacation, nor should you think it is one. You will work harder than you have ever worked before, you will be pushed beyond your limits and it is up to you if you embrace it or refuse to grow. The academy itself has a great mission, creating women leaders one girl at a time, but to make that into a reality it is not just how the academy decides to help make those women leaders but it is also on the girls to already have traits of a leader. If you are mature, hardworking, respectful and open minded to becoming the best who you could be then this might be the program for you.”
