Welcome to Sadie Nash Leadership Project (SNLP)!
SNLP is an educational organization that uplifts the power of young women and gender-expansive people of color in New York City and Newark, NJ. We believe that every young woman and gender-expansive youth is a LEADER and we offer a variety of programs to support their leadership and activism in their communities.
We are currently inviting 9th-12th grade students to apply to our 2023 after school program, SIBLINGHOOD ACADEMY! In this program, young women and gender-expansive youth participate in workshops around community building, identity, leadership, media, healthy relationships, wellness, youth activism, and social justice. Using their own life experiences as a starting point, participants discuss important community issues while building a strong sense of siblinghood with supportive peers and adults. Each participant will be in a cohort of approximately 15-20 individuals, led by a team of dynamic & skilled educators. Enrichment activities, field trips, and other educational opportunities will be offered throughout the program!
Participants can earn up to a $200 STIPEND if they have fulfilled attendance requirements by the end of May.
