We provide workshops, activities and trips that develop leadership skills and teach our young women to be critical and active members in the community.
Child-care is provided to ensure that young mothers can participate in our programs.
About me: Sistas on the Rise is a space for young women of color ages 13-21. We work with teen mothers and young women to take ownership and power over their lives to create a healthy community. We acknowledge that young women of color need a safe space to develop their leadership skills, socio-political analysis, and organize without being marginalized. We realize that many young women who became pregnant drop-out of existing youth programs because they do not receive the support necessary for their continued participation.
One of our goals is to build sisterhood among young women who have children and those who do not. Sistas on the Rise is a space where young mothers and women of color raise consciousness, build sisterhood and take action for social change.
