ECA is an alumni-engagement initiative of the Harvard Alumni Association that promotes pursuing college to low-income students, some of whom may be first generation in their family to attend college. Through ECA, ANHW members can play a more active role in their local community discussing their career journeys and inspiring students to continue their education, through events in partnership with schools and community organizations.

ANHW ECA MODELS The focus of ANHW’s ECA initiative will be global, creative, and relevant to our specific communities, highlighting the following models:

 ANHW ~ School - Chapter/DSG plans a virtual or in-person ECA event in collaboration with a local school. 

 ANHW ~ Harvard Club - Chapter/DSG plans a virtual or in-person ECA event with the local Harvard Club and a school in their community.

 ANHW ~ Community - Chapter/DSG collaborates on planning an ECA event with community partners.

 ANHW~ Mentoring Program - Chapter/DSG partners with an established mentoring program in their community; ANHW members serve as mentors for young women.

 ANHW~ Career Journey Mentor - Share your story! Be a Career Journey Mentor speaking on a panel or in a breakout session at a future ANHW ECA event to inspire & motivate young women.
