  • WHAT IS THE PROGRAM ALL ABOUT?

    The Young Warrior Woman Program is designed especially for young women ages 17-25+. The program provides connection to a safe group of peers and mentors who are non-judgemental and good listeners. Our mentors are positive female role models from the local community who will provide you with support, guidance, wisdom and will also cheer you on from the sidelines to reach your goals.

    We provide a comprehensive six-month lifeskills education program which will teach you all of the skills you need for the future. We can also help you to finish studying and/or get a job or go onto higher education so that you can earn your own money and take charge of your life. Therapy sessions will provide you with tips and tools for dealing with any stress and anxiety you may have about going out on your own as an independent Warrior Woman.
