LANEIGE is announcing a yearlong philanthropic partnership in the United States with the national mentorship nonprofit Step Up, a collaboration designed to support the professional and personal development of young women.
The LANEIGE x Step Up initiative will provide a selected group of teens with immersive programming, including workshops and direct mentorship sessions led by LANEIGE team members. The ultimate goal is to build the career skills of young women, expand their professional networks, and boost their confidence as they prepare to enter the workforce.
By investing time and resources into a structured mentorship program that offers real-world exposure and guidance from industry professionals, the Korean skincare brand LANEIGE demonstrates a tangible commitment to empowering women — a value that deeply resonates with its predominantly female customer base.
