Young Women's Project

The Young Women's Project (YWP) is a multicultural organization that builds and supports DC teen women and girl leaders so that they can improve their lives and transform their communities.

YWP recognizes teen women and girls as valuable community resources, supports them where their environments fail, invests in them through training and peer support, and engages their skills and talents to solve community problems and challenge institutions.

YWP participates in Attack on Women's Health Rally in DC!

Mon, 03/07/2011 - 16:27 — ywp

On February 26th, 2011, The Young Women's Project participated in the rally on women's health at Dupont Circle. We had a great turn out and partnered up with ISO (http://www.internationalsocialist.org/) and the Move On (www.moveon.org) organization to get the word out about the attacks on women's reproductive rights. Many great photos were taken at this event and YWP was interviewed on our reaction to the House vote to defunding Planned Parenthood.
