Ten years. 3000 girls.
On June 26, 2011, 10 at-risk girls met in a car. They could’ve never imagined where Chica Project would be 3650 days later. Founded 10 years ago by Nurys Camargo with an initial cohort of 10 Latinas, we’ve grown our programs to reach over 3,000 Latinx, Black, Asian-American, and Women of Color. An organization led and run entirely by Women of Color serving Women of Color, Chica Project’s track record and outcomes are clear, and the potential for growth is exponential.
Today, Chica Project’s mission to close the opportunity divide for Latinas and other Women of Color could not be more relevant. We envision a future for this organization where hundreds of early professional Latinx and Women of Color grow into their power as the future business, education, science, nonprofit, and civic leaders of tomorrow. We envision a world with doors wide open or young Women of Color.
We have reached a 10-year milestone. Your support over this past decade is what has sustained and nourished us, allowing the young women we serve to thrive.
For the price of dinner out, $26 in honor of our special day, you could help us change more lives. Our goal is $26,000. We’ve made it this far because of your commitment to community and social change, as well as your unconditional support. We could not be more grateful for your continued partnership and dedication to our youth. ¡Gracias!
