EO Starling Project

Committed to driving forward gender parity and developing the leadership pipeline, the EO Starling Project pairs collegiate women who have arrived as refugees with mentors in the Treasure Valley. Trained mentors and project staff assist mentees in building professional networks, acquiring and honing new skills, accessing new spaces, and creating personal and professional growth opportunities.

When thousands of starlings come together, flying in swooping, intricately coordinated patterns, a mesmerizing murmuration results. This intricate movement happens when an individual starling communicates with its seven closest neighbors. We hope you will help us grow this movement by supporting the empowerment of these emerging women leaders, and, therefore, our collective future.
