Pineapple Empower is your pathway to exploring possibilities, embracing your potential, and confidently shaping your own future!

Program Curriculum

Pineapple Empower is led by Andrea Chaves, the founder of Pineapple Women, who brings more than a decade of experience as a teacher specializing in STEAM education.

Most of the program is asynchronous and, therefore, flexible. Our volunteers, the Pineapple Women, will support and guide participants through workshops and in developing their websites.

Upon completion of the program, participants will have developed their digital portfolios, reflecting their personal brand, skills, achievements, and professional aspirations.

Development on Wix

The participants will create an account on Wix and will be taught how to create a digital portfolio.

Workshops with Mentors

Show and Tell

Professionals will teach participants practical skills and expose them to various careers.

Pineapple Women Talks

The participants will have the opportunity to interview a mentor, not only to explore careers but also to inspire future generations.

The participants will practice how to tell their stories and present their digital portfolios professionally.
