Girls Initiatives
The Girls Initiatives at the YW reflect our core belief that empowered girls become empowered women. Designed to inform, engage and inspire girls in New York City to become self- advocates, the goal of our Girls Initiatives is to ensure that every girl gains the skills, knowledge and confidence to pursue the education, career and life of their choice.
Our Programs Include YW Amp Leadership, Step In And Stop It! Bystander Intervention Training, YW Geek Girls, College and Career Readiness, and our signature event 'Potential to Power Girls Symposium.'
Out-of-School Time Programs (After School Programming)

We operate elementary and middle school programs for 1000 children in K through 8th grade in Central Harlem, Carroll Gardens, Coney Island and Brownsville, Brooklyn. Our staff of diverse community-based educators and licensed teachers create strong partnerships with the schools, families, and community leaders to ensure access to a variety of enrichment activities.

- Foster social & emotional competencies and physical well-being.
