A Girl Like Me: Color is more than skin deep for young African-American women struggling to define themselves.

Our amazing partners at Girls for Gender Equity are looking for Youth Organizers for their Sisters in Strength Program. SIS is a two-year paid internship program for girls entering 10th and 11th grade that focuses on community organizing around gender-based violence and confronts the multiple layers of individual and institutional discrimination that threaten the safety of girls and women. We’re so proud to be a partner and supporter of GGE, and we highly highly highly recommend that you apply for this opportunity if you’re eligible!
