The Black Women’s Policy Center is dedicated to Black women of all ages, and we feel that it is necessary to make sure our younger generations are as involved in breaking down barriers as any other group. We aim to create a truly safe space for our youth to feel empowered and informed about civic engagement in their prospective communities, all while building tribes among each other to foster relationships that can be used in coalition building. We will be coming together to not only identify systemic issues but to build an action plan to bring about systems change. Through policy and advocacy, we will Step Up and provide the tools necessary for our young women to confidently be centered at the tables we know they should have always been at.
Black girls are the future.
Empowering the Next
Generation:
Supporting Middle School Girls in Duquesne
The Black Women’s Policy Center is expanding our impact by launching a new initiative dedicated to supporting middle school girls in the Duquesne School District. This program is designed to provide mentorship, advocacy, and resources that empower young girls to navigate their educational and personal journeys with confidence.
Our work in this space is rooted in our commitment to equity and opportunity, ensuring that Black girls have access to the tools and support they need to thrive. As we step into this vital work, we are actively seeking funding partners who share our vision for investing in the next generation of leaders.
If you or your organization are interested in supporting this initiative, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate. Together, we can create lasting change and open doors for young girls in our community.
I'm ready to step up !
