WILL: A Journey of Mentorship and Transformation -

By Elena Olascoaga | Former Executive Director

Dear community,

WILL was much more than a mentoring program. It became a space for mutual growth, sisterhood, and inspiration. Our mentors often shared they learned more than they gave, while mentees expressed how deeply valued and guided they felt during the process.

Thanks to your generous support, WILL reached 483 students and over 300 mentors. We continue receiving inspiring updates from our mentees—many have graduated from university, pursued international scholarships, or boldly entered STEM fields previously perceived as "not for them." These stories fill our hearts with joy.

WILL, as a permanent program, has come to an end. We are now exploring ways to reinvent it to scale its impact sustainably. At this time, our organization Ecosistema para la Co-Creación de Oportunidades A.C. has suspended operations. The current nonprofit model is not sustainable, and we are in a period of transformation, seeking new ways to leverage our expertise in designing social impact projects for Gender Equality and Sustainable Development.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey. Me, as a founder, will continue leading initiatives to advance gender equality. You can follow my work here:

If you have recurring donations enabled, please note that they will now be redirected to a collective fund that GlobalGiving assigns to other impactful projects.

With immense gratitude and love,
Elena Olascoaga

Querida comunidad,

WILL fue mucho más que un programa de mentoría. Se convirtió en un espacio de crecimiento mutuo, sororidad e inspiración. Las mentoras siempre compartían haber aprendido más de lo que dieron, mientras que las mentees expresaban cuánto valoraban el acompañamiento recibido.

Gracias a su apoyo generoso, WILL llegó a 483 alumnas y más de 300 mentoras. Seguimos recibiendo noticias increíbles: muchas han terminado la universidad, otras han ganado becas para estudiar en el extranjero, y varias se han atrevido a estudiar matemáticas o ciencias. Estas historias nos llenan de alegría.

WILL como programa permanente ha llegado a su fin. Estamos explorando cómo reinventarlo de una forma más escalable y sostenible. Actualmente, nuestra organización Ecosistema para la Co-Creación de Oportunidades A.C. ha suspendido actividades, ya que el modelo de asociación civil no es sostenible en este momento. Estamos buscando nuevas formas de transformar nuestra experiencia en el diseño de proyectos con impacto social para la igualdad de género y el desarrollo sostenible.

De todo corazón, gracias por haber sido parte de esta historia. Yo, como fundadora, seguiré impulsando esfuerzos en favor de la igualdad de género. Puedes seguir mi trabajo aquí:

Si tienen activadas las donaciones recurrentes, por favor tomen en cuenta que ahora serán redirigidas a un fondo colectivo que GlobalGiving asigna a otros proyectos de impacto.

Con mucho agradecimiento y cariño,
Elena Olascoaga
