Do you want to do something now to improve the lives and health of women? If so, then the Young Women's Leadership Project is for you! Started in 1999 by the Feminist Women's Health Center, the Young Women's Leadership Project is a great way for young women from all walks of life and communities to prepare for activism, advocacy, or organizational leadership.

You will have an opportunity to develop hands-on skills, including: how to advocate for social justice and women's rights, powerful event planning and how to recruit new activists. We want to empower you with volunteer projects, learning experiences, workshops, and the mutual exchange of ideas- so you can find your own way to protecting and advancing women's health.

These activities serve not only to empower participants but also to diversify Atlanta's reproductive justice movement. As the Project expands its programming, we deepened our outreach strategies to educate and empower all young women. In 1992, we sought to expand our current efforts to reach more young African-American women, and in 2005, we responded to a growing Hispanic population within our community and expanded our efforts to reach young Latinas, the Lifting Latina Voices Initiative.

After all, since the Project was implemented in 1999, over 2,200 young women have graduated from the Project -- join us and you too can find your own way to protecting and advancing women's health, rights and justice!
