We empower women in New York City to advocate for themselves, their families, and their communities as they navigate the intersections of race, class, and gender.

Yisleyry Claros, Girls Initiatives Ambassador
“The Student Ambassadors program has changed the way I view myself. I now realize how much potential I have; I can do anything I imagine. I can voice my ideas and beliefs to my community and be heard.
What we do here is listen to each other and then face any injustice or problem head-on all together, so no one has to feel alone within this community. ”
