Mission

The Young Women's Project is a multi-cultural organization that builds and supports teen women and girl leaders so that they can improve their own lives and transform their communities. 

History & Values

Founded by and for young women in 1992, YWP is guided by love, a belief in the power and abilities of teen women, and a commitment to involving young women in every level of organizational planning and leadership, from training to fundraising, program design, and the board of directors. 

Programs

YWP programs provide leadership training, employment opportunities, project work, and a larger continuum of care that enables teens to educate and organize their peers and work to change laws and policies to reflect their realities. 

Teen Women in Action is an after-school program that builds 100 DC teen women leaders each year through self advocacy, leadership development, and project implementation. Teen-Adult Partnerships train and support teen staff who work to challenge and improve teen-serving institutions through city-wide issue campaigns.
