How Sponsorship Works
Ascend offers high quality programming to all of our team members at no cost to them. Sponsors provide a vital source of support to pay for the training and education we deliver 6 days a week. Enrollment in Ascend's program can change the trajectory of a girl's life, at a time when she may be under pressure to marry or leave school.
When you choose to sponsor a girl, we will match you with one of our team members. We'll send you a welcome kit that introduces you to your sponsored team member, including a photo and bio. During the sponsorship year, you will receive a personal video message from your sponsored girl, and updates from Ascend on how your sponsorship is making an incredible difference.
Your monthly support is combined with the support of other sponsors, so that Ascend can ensure that all participants - regardless of whether they have a sponsor - receive the same life-changing benefits of sponsorship.
Sometimes circumstances change, and Ascend team members leave the program. In such cases, we open that slot to a new team member and your sponsorship is transferred to support her.
To protect participants, Ascend will act as an intermediary for all communications between sponsors and beneficaries.

"Before I joined Ascend, I never thought about my dreams or goals. I didn't know I could make my own way. I am a different person now, with a totally different plan for my life."
