Programs

  • Community Based Programming

    Our community-based programs empower participants to celebrate culture, uplift each other and rise as enlightened young women. All while networking to build community. Focusing on leadership development & cultural identity exploration through group mentoring, we are a cohort of resilient thinkers, dreamers and believers. It is not a requirement to be enrolled in school to attend our Community Programs because we recognize the many different paths that can lead a young woman to chica project. Join us on this journey! Chica Project’s staff and mentors engage participants in thoughtful activities and discussions that may not be available to them in school or at home, or in their communities…until now! Through this program, participants begin to build a deeper sense of community, increase their sense of engagement through exposure to enrichment activities, and prepare for college and the workforce. Our program develops passionate and driven leaders. Though we are a Latina and other Women of Color-oriented initiative, we are open to all young women, regardless of race or ethnicity.

  • School Based Programming

    Our school-based program develops the next generation of young leaders and prepares them to be authors of their own story. chica project’s staff and mentors create a distinctive space where young women can begin to explore various aspects of their identities and how they interplay within the environments and systems they are a part of. We engage participants in thoughtful activities and discussions that may not be available to them in everyday life. Within the walls of their schools, participants build a deeper sense of community, increase their sense of engagement through enrichment activities, and prepare for college and the workforce. Recognizing and embracing the multiple facets of our cultures, along with the daily challenges young women face, our 5-month curriculum equips participants with the tools needed to navigate the obstacles that come with having limited access to education, financial stability, social capital and political power. It inspires, motivates and equips a group of 15-25 participants to be leaders in their lives, schools and communities.
