Our mission
Chicago Based Early Career is a Lean In Circle created for young women in our office who are in the early stages of their professional journey. In a workplace where we’re often the youngest—and sometimes the only—women in the room, this circle offers space to build community, share stories, and grow together.
A community of ambitious young women who are navigating the early stages of their careers. This circle is geared toward women in their early careers (generally under 35), but anyone who feels aligned with that experience is welcome to join We create space for honest conversations, mutual support, and collective empowerment—navigating not just our jobs, but also the unique challenges of being young women in a predominantly male, senior workforce. We meet monthly to share honest conversations, grow leadership skills, and support each other through the highs and lows of professional life. Our circle is all about empowerment, real talk, and rising together.
Networks connect groups of Circles and individuals that share a common location, company, affinity, industry, or interest area.
We’re always looking for new members. Join today to be a part of Lean In’s global community.
Circles are small groups of women who come together—online or offline—for real talk and peer support.
We all need a safe space for real talk, inspiration, and support. Right now, we need community more than ever.
