SHE-CAN is a mid-sized nonprofit based in San Rafael, California, that provides young women from post-conflict countries with access to higher education. The organization identifies promising students who would otherwise lack a pathway to a degree in the United States and supports them through targeted exam preparation and a formal mentorship model. Once selected, each scholar is paired with a team of five to six U.S. professionals who guide her through college admissions and scholarship opportunities. The program cultivates a growing community of mentors, graduates, and donors, serving as a resource for increasing global female leadership; the organization was previously known as the Open A Door Foundation.
