To provide trauma-informed and restorative justice approach to networking, empowerment, and professional development
To begin the conversation to develop Promising Practices for nonprofit Board members and hiring executives around supporting, uplifting, and maintaining Black women leadership based in justice instead of tokenism, assimilation, and/or misogynoir.

About Us
EmpowHer is the only gender-responsive organization in Los Angeles County that provide a social emotional and skills based learning course during the school day in Title I middle and high schools. Our programs serve to support girls in developing the necessary skills to boldly break ceilings, embrace the power of their voice, engage in social justice, and eliminate generational cycles of poverty. We serve an average of 600+ girls, ages 11-21 years old, annually. 98 percent of the girls we serve are girls of color and 96 percent live within a low-income household.
OUR MISSION
Empower girls and young women in marginalized communities by helping them gain the skills necessary through education, training and mentorship to become confident, college and career ready.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where every girl is provided the opportunities and resources she uniquely needs to: embrace the power of her voice; make informed decision about her body and future; break generational cycles of poverty; contribute to the creation of an equitable society.
