Crystal Ngumezi, a 26-year-old originally from Houston, TX now living in Austin, TX, recently started The Proverbs 31 Women’s Organization,
a nonprofit organization that offers free mentorship and professional
etiquette training classes to young women from low-income families
living in underprivileged neighborhoods.
“I started The Proverbs
31 Women's Organization because I felt there was a need for an
organization that supplied underprivileged young women with proper
mentors to help lead and guide them through life.”, Crystal says. “As a
young woman myself, I always desired to have a female mentor to help
coach and guide me through my profession as a female engineer. I never
received this type of aid, so I made it my mission and purpose to create
opportunities for young women who looked like me to receive free help
and guidance, as well as free professional training and teaching.“ Read on for more information on participating, volunteering, and donating.
