SHE-CAN (formerly Open A Door Foundation) is a 501(c)3 organization that provides young women from post-conflict countries access to higher education. We are dedicated to finding young women who offer promise but would otherwise not have a chance at becoming an influential leader in their communities without a degree from a U.S. college or university. Once selected, each is given ACT and IELTS or TOEFL exam training, and matched with a team of 5-6 professional U.S. men and women who guide her in applying for college or university admission and scholarships. Through this unique mentoring model, a special bond emerges between the SHE-CAN scholar and her mentor team. As we connect more and more passionate change-makers: mentors, graduates and donors, a powerful community emerges that is a resource and platform for increasing global female leadership.
