Young Women Warriors is a free, year-round mentorship program that connects young women of color to older, female professionals of color who can guide young women through their high school and early college careers. YWW serves young women from ages 12-22 of all races and ethnicities. Pairing the mentees to successful leaders and role models in the community, YWW works to help the young women succeed academically and professionally. Through the group mentoring program, the mentors and mentees meet twice a month from September to June for workshops and activities that encompass topics such as higher education, career growth, financial literacy, public speaking, voting, female health, self-defense and safety, and self-confidence.
