Empower U
About the Program
Empower U(niversity) is the YWCA NNJ’s 10 month girls personal, professional, and empowerment program. Meetings will be held 3 times a month virtually, with a mix of evidence based activities and lessons, as well as female mentors appearing as guest speakers.
Empower U gives 15 young women each year the tools they need to balance themselves physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Impactful programming and community service projects will empower teen girls to be confident, college-bound, and career-ready. In addition, mentoring sessions will be held every month with women who are experts in their fields.
At YWCA Northern New Jersey, we believe that every girl has the ability to become a great leader. Empower U will help participants realize this within themselves so that they can flourish throughout high school, college, and beyond. After all: empowered women start with empowered girls!
