The Young Women's Empowerment Academy

We prevent youth from being trafficked in Western New York. The Young Women’s Empowerment Academy is where confidence is built, futures are shaped, and cycles are broken. We serve girls in grades 3 through 12 who are at higher risk of human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. Through our original Empowerment Girl Curriculum, we provide education, life skills, entrepreneurship training, and mentorship. Our goal is to help each girl discover her worth, develop her voice, and create a path toward a brighter future. Most importantly, we offer a consistent, supportive community that reminds every participant she is never alone. We see lives transformed every day—one empowered girl at a time.
