Sadie Nash Leadership Project 157 Montague Street Brooklyn, NY 11201 http://www.sadienash.org
The Sadie Nash Leadership Project is both an inspiring learning experience and a powerful community of young female leaders in NYC. Some of our leaders already know they will change the world; others are still realizing it. We offer summer and school-year programs.
Sadie Nash Leadership Project was founded in 2001 to promote leadership and activism among young women. The program is designed to strengthen, empower, and equip young women as agents for change in their world. By increasing the participation of women in social, political, and economic decision-making, SNLP seeks to question and redefine the nature of leadership and to promote perspectives and practices that are cooperative, accountable, ethical, and effective.
Throughout the program, the specific goals for the young women are:
• To increase self-esteem
• To envision themselves as leaders now and in the future
• To understand and seek the right to equality
• To empower their decision-making ability
• To seek and value community action and involvement
Sadie Nash is designed to guide young women through a process in which they come to understand the importance of their individual life experiences, and how these experiences can be applied to taking action and making change. We are an educational and advocacy program that provides young women the opportunity to analyze and explore the very nature of leadership.
