BECAUSE STRONG GIRLS* BECOME STRONG WOMEN

We create brave spaces with girls and gender expansive youth of color to take charge of their own power as leaders, igniting their abilities to confidently express themselves, build community, and act against injustices affecting their lives.

Powerful Voices is all about creating space. We are a fully femme, womxn, non-binary staff of color that aims to build a place where girls and gender expansive youth of color can feel brave enough to share their truths with us and the world. Since 1995, we have created gender-specific, social justice programs for 11-18 year olds so they can be equipped with communal knowledge and platforms to speak up. We also resource share and partner with organizations, individuals, and businesses alike to re-frame what it looks like to support and be led by young people. 

WE CO-CREATE SOLUTIONS WITH GIRLS AND GENDER EXPANSIVE YOUTH OF COLOR. 

Youth are the experts of their own experiences. They hold wisdom and brilliance in how they navigate their worlds. But too often, the systems in place deny that power to shine - in school, at home, in policy, and more. In order to build a new world, we know that we need to trust in the expertise of young people and to work alongside them in order to see justice. 

We offer cultural and social justice programs for middle and high school students who go to school or live in Seattle.
