These programs strengthen and empower under-served young women of color through the following services: Young Woman Arise Project and Females Against Violence.

Young Women Arise Project (YWAP) provides in-house and school-based counseling services (individual, family and group), educational workshops, recreational and cultural activities, and appropriate community referrals to young women between the ages of 11-17.

Females Against Violence (FAV) is a peer education program comprised of young women ages 14-17. The young women are paid and trained to become Peer Educators on issues dealing with dating and domestic violence. Graduates then share their knowledge with their peers through educational and prevention presentations at schools and in the larger community.
