Benefits of Becoming A Partner

The Academy of Our Lady of Peace’s Women’s Symposium brings together San Diego’s leading companies and organizations committed to empowering and inspiring young women to become the next generation of leaders and innovators. As the oldest high school in San Diego and the only all-girls’ Catholic school in the county, OLP serves as an epicenter for women leaders and companies to network with our girls and each other. Through sponsorship of the 2026 Women’s Symposium, your business or organization will benefit from direct exposure to hundreds of community members interested in encouraging and supporting women. Your company’s association with the Women’s Symposium and OLP—recognized as a leader in women’s empowerment and education — will help to make this event possible and strengthen your business position with the community. Sponsorship supports the Women’s Symposium and all net proceeds from the event will benefit the school’s Annual Fund which supports the greatest area of need at OLP from extracurriculars, leadership and travel opportunities, service immersion trips, college counseling, student and teacher support and so much more.
