Y-WE STEAM Day is a place where BIPOC young women, trans, and gender expansive youth imagine possibilities, build skills and knowledge, and grow their community of support on the path to STEAM related careers where diverse talent is still vastly underrepresented.
Y-WE creates necessary conditions for action – personal, interpersonal, institutional, systems – that advance equity and justice. Centering youth of color voices and cultivating their agency, creativity, and leadership is fundamental to claiming a liberated future now.
Today we are kicking off our fall campaign by connecting to the core of what Y-WE does – build communities of belonging where all young women* can live their truth, achieve their dreams, and change our world.
This past Sunday we came together with Y-WE community members to express our heartfelt gratitude for their support and involvement. We shared a delicious Filipino meal, mimosas, and more!
Y-WE is celebrating tremendous momentum as a new year of programming is underway. As we enter the giving season, we’re thrilled to share our latest Annual Report, which captures highlights from the 2023-24 program year!
In part two of our series highlighting Y-WE’s new Healing Justice Collective, we discuss hope-tending, the power of healing in community, and why you can’t “therapy your way out of oppression.”
