We will:
address the numerous issues that continue to affect the psychological, emotional, physical, and social well-being, and growth of girls and women of color. build solid foundations for life-long learning through innovative programs, research and initiatives that improve quality of life;
advance and empower girls and women of color academically, personally and professionally.
