OUR MISSION

Empowering young women from diverse backgrounds to step up as leaders in their schools, communities, and the world. We do this through intergenerational mentorships and creative programs that equip teen women with the confidence, resiliency, and leadership skills needed to achieve their goals.

WHO WE SERVE

Young women ages 14-18. Our youth and mentors represent a myriad of family, sexual orientation, religious, political, and educational backgrounds. Learning from diversity is key. Currently, 50% of the youth are immigrants to the US. 85% of the youth and 50% of the adults are women of color.
