Young Women’s Leadership Project
Do you want to do something now to
improve women's lives and health?
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 many walks of life and communities to prepare
for activism, advocacy, or organizational leadership.
We hope you will join us! 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 that you can find your own way to protecting and advancing
women's health.
These activities serve not only to empower
their participants but also to diversify Atlanta's reproductive
justice movement. As the Project expands its programming, we also
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.
After all, since the Project was implemented
in 1999, over 2,200 young women have graduated from the Project
-- join us so that you can find your own way to protecting and advancing
women's health, rights and justice!

| “I’ve
really felt myself shift from a position of political apathy
and helplessness into a feeling that I really could get involved,
learn the System, and make a difference.”
“Because of this
program, I want to continue to fight, to be a “fabulous
feminist” who makes a difference.”
“Go FWHC! It is
true that each one person makes such a difference –
we can all do so much more together.” |
