Young Women Empowered cultivates the power of diverse young women* to be creative leaders and courageous changemakers through transformative programs within a collaborative community of belonging. *those who identify as women or girls or were assigned female at birth

  • In 2023-2024, Y-WE served 165+ young women and gender expansive youth, and 1,130+ community members, through 176 program days and community events held online and in-person. 56 adult volunteer mentors supported youth enrolled in 17 distinct programs, and 55 other active volunteers supported Y-WE in a variety of ways throughout the year. Participants reported increased self confidence, leadership skills, connection to the natural world, and commitment to taking action for change in their communities. Averaged across all Y-WE programs, 92%+ of participants reported they believe they can take on leadership roles in their community, now or in the future; and that they feel motivated to take action to make positive changes in their community.

    Expenses $1,870,644

  • Educational Events: Collectively these programs were attended by 500+ youth and community members. These events featured: STEAM education and skill development; and a holistic approach to gaining knowledge, skills and resource access that support young women's mental, emotional, social and physical well-being. When asked what they liked best about STEM Day, one participant wrote, "I loved the sense of community and the new opportunities it opened my eyes to." Another wrote, "I was able to connect with industry leaders and reach out to them after STEAM Day, the ability to stay in touch and ask questions was super helpful and [a] unique opportunity!!"

    Expenses $245,846

  • Multi-day camps focused on creativity and engagement with the natural world provided transformative and healing experiences to 116+ youth and 22 adult volunteer mentors. Young women worked directly with renowned writers and artists, community leaders, and professionals across diverse career fields. As a result of Grow Summer Camp, 100% of participants felt an increased sense of belonging and being cared about in a diverse community of different ages and backgrounds, feeling that their voice matters and they are able to speak up about things that matter to me, and knowledge and care about local food/environmental justice issues.
