Why We Focus on Young Women of Color?
|
53% of African American girls surveyed expressed a desire to be leaders as compared to 50 percent of Hispanic girls and 34 percent of Caucasian girls. Yet opportunities for leadership are scarce. |
For young women who don’t have access to resources we provide hands on career exploration opportunities as well as innovative ways to bridge the gap between working professionals and students.
