The University of Pretoria TuksRes Women in Leadership Academy (TRWLA) was started in 2014 in order to provide a platform through which to enrich the lives of young women at university. We love our country and have a passion for becoming agents of change. The world needs more critical thinkers, more captains of industry, more women who pioneer the way. We hope to be a part of enabling that process of growth in young women and investing not just into people, but also into the heart of South Africa. Starting at the beginning of their university career, we focus on providing young female students with opportunities for growth and empowering them to use their potential. At the core of the academy are the pillars of service, advocacy, network and skills. We partner with first and second-year women students in residences across the university and embark on a year of leadership training.
