Chica Project’s programs are designed to center, affirm, and empower: Black, Latina, & Indigenous identities, we also welcome Asian, Arab, Pacific Islander, & Multiracial Women of Color (WOC); Anyone who identifies as girl/woman, regardless of gender assigned at birth. We also welcome people who identify as femme, non-binary, or gender nonconforming who feel aligned with experiences of girlhood and womanhood; Youth beginning at 11 years old, young, and adult women; and Those whose sense of identity and belonging has been shaped by immigrant or diaspora experiences.
