We are a sisterhood. We support each other in this spirit.  Welcome! 

Our community lives and thrives by five core values: courage, curiosity, generosity, accountability and collective success. 

Our values shine like our North Star and always show us the way.

in the transformative power of real life stories.

in the power of sisterhood as the future belongs to the connected.

that happy & fulfilled women are necessary for a prosperous society.

We are TurkishWINners.

Welcome to TurkishWIN, to the sisterhood! 

At TurkishWIN, our members: 

• meet open-minded and open-hearted women for career and business connections, 
• build a legacy in lifting the next generation of Turkish women, 
• enjoy a life-long learning journey with peers, 
• know that we are not alone - other amazing women share our passion to build a gender equal future. And, yes, our contribution matters. 

Our digital platform is turkishwin.com and we bring together our open-hearted and open-minded members in these programs: 

• Events, Learning Center 
• Mentoring
• Speaker Club
• Give Back 

Each program has an extensive guide that you can explore. Just follow the links! 

The TurkishWIN mentoring program matches TurkishWINners with peer-to-peer, senior-to-junior, Diaspora-Turkey, or local -local mentor/mentee connections.

We recommend that our matched mentors/mentees have at least 6 meetings in this six months long program and meet more frequently in the first couple of months. After six months, you will decide whether to continue or end the program.

This mentoring program guideline  includes information on roles and responsibilities, a cheat sheet of questions for you to get to know each other, tips in structuring your partnership, and suggestions for your first meeting.

We have prepared this “Mentoring”  wiki to answer any questions you may have. 

You can search upcoming events from the Events page at turkishwin.com at your convenience.

We also send regular event newsletters to keep you up to date. Make sure our emails do not hit your spam folder! 

After you spot an event that makes your heart and/or mind sing, you can simply RSVP online.

TurkishWIN Speaker Club is the  community of TurkishWInners who generously share their voice, stories and career tips through public speaking with our motto: “If I did it, so can you!”  We want to pay it forward and leave a legacy not only through the work we do but the relationships we create and the women we impact along the way. The Speaker Club is a great way for us to connect with each other- inviting fellow TurkishWIN members to different team meetings or events. The TurkishWIN Speaker Club also enables us to connect to our alma mater universities. It is a win-win!

We deliver our give back in three programs:

1.  WIN Next Generation:  We target female high school and university students. Our goal is to inspire them to become the best version of themselves at the workplace. Our message: “If I did it, so can you!”

We offer accessible role models, career tips and relevant networks in three programs/platforms: CampusWIN Academy,  BinYaprak and Milyon Kadına Mentor Hareketi.

1.  WIN in Digital: We know that the future of work will be shaped in digital spaces. We also know not every sister enjoys the same mobility to attend events in person for many different reasons. When she is searching for a role model, career tip, or a supporting network, we want to be there! We work tirelessly to increase the number of role models, career tips and networks.

 Our digital #GiveBack platform BinYaprak is available free of charge, offers content in Turkish and serves as an umbrella for all change-maker organizations who do not have resources to invest in digital platforms.

1.  WIN Together: Investing in a gender equal future takes a village of change-makers. We partner with organizations that share our values, passion and target audiences to amplify our collective success and impact. You can check out our #WinTogether partnerships here.

We invite you to choose a give back program to build your legacy at TurkishWIN. We have prepared  this “Give Back” wiki to answer any questions you may have.

We host monthly Legacy Circle meetings. If you are not sure re:your next steps, please join us! You can RSVP online at our Events page. 

If you already know what makes your heart sing, please update your “My Give Back Circles” preferences in Your Profile under “My Groups.” 

Great question!  We offer you a buffet of options. You pick what you like and design your membership experience at your own pace.

If you take on a leadership role in a sisterhood circle, you can expect to spend 3-5 hours per week- on average.
