Elite Women of Excellence

To unleash teenage girls’ full potential to make wise decisions as they stand on principles, passion, and purpose.

Over two decades ago, Lisa Smith asked a question that would change hundreds of families: Where can my daughters find friends who share our faith and values?

She couldn’t find what she was looking for, so she built it.

What began as a small circle of like-minded families in 2002 has grown into Elite Women of Excellence, a Christ-centered mentoring ministry serving young women across metro Atlanta. Since then, EWOE has poured into the lives of more than 1,500 girls from 11 counties, walking alongside them through the pivotal years between girlhood and womanhood.

Today, EWOE remains volunteer-led and family-focused, with 50–100 dedicated mentors, skilled facilitators, and generous supporters giving their time each year to invest in the next generation.

“I wanted my daughters to be surrounded by girls who shared our faith and values. What began as a small group of families has become devoted friendships that span more than two decades. God has done more than I ever imagined, and we’re just getting started.”, Lisa Smith, Founding Executive Director

Every girl has a God-given purpose. We help her discover it, surrounded by faith, family, and friendship that lasts a lifetime.
