Youth Advocates

Angela Montero

I am a senior at Woodrow Wilson high school and a peer advocate with the Young Women’s Project. I am going to start school at Barnard college in the fall and I plan to study biochemistry and gender.  I plan to one day go to medical school or to graduate school for public health.  I currently also work as a hospice care volunteer and a chemistry tutor.  I first got involved in the Young Women’s Project as a part of the Youth Health Action Council.  A friend of mine dragged me to weekly meetings in which we were trained to be peer educators.

I am a 12th grader at School Without Walls Senior High School. I’m a goal driven, kind hearted, and compassionate scholar with a dream to heal hearts and minds of people through therapy. I am also into photography, music and simply hanging out with friends. I began working at the Young Women's Project to originally just make an easy quick few bucks. But overtime, while working at the office, I grew to enjoy the work. Spreading something important as sexual health to other people in my age group became something I was inspired by.

I am a proud member of the Young Women's Project. I am eager Senior at Bell Multicultural High School. I plan on attending a two-year college to obtain my associate's degree still undecided on which one I’ll attend. I am considering Montgomery college or University of District of Columbia Community College. Once completed, I will transfer to a university for the rest of my college career to get my bachelors then get my master’s degree. I would like to study law. Some hobbies I have are playing sports mostly basketball but I really enjoy watching different sports.
