WE ARE
The Young Women's Empowerment Academy
We unlock and unleash the power each young woman has within her to change the world for the better... not by being anyone else other than the best version of herself.
WE DON'T DENY THE STATISTICS...
WE CHANGE THEM
GIRL POWER!
LIFE SKILLS CENTER
We believe in giving young women the tools needed to help them pursue their dreams and goals. We expose them to a plethora of experiences that will give them real life skills, coping mechanisms, and knowledge.
OUR STORIES
Jalissa, 13
Harrisburg, Pa
I love being a part of YWEA because I've learned what a healthy relationship looks like because they have shown me. I love that I get to be open about how I feel, and I'm learning how to be my own boss... something I never thought that I could do.

I love being in the academy because I get to meet so many new people and I always find myself learning something new. It's also a safe place for the girls and I to talk about what is happening in our lives, and our mentors teach us how to deal with those things.
VOLUNTEER
It's been said that it takes a village to raise a child. We are committed to doing our part to raise a generation of young women who will become world leaders, great thinkers, problem solvers, inventors, or whatever they are called to accomplish in this lifetime. Join our village.

Being a part of the academy is SO FUN!. I think every girl should join. My favorite class was when we learned about budgeting and money management. We get to go on trips, but I really love the classes, they are so informative and fun.
