S.T.R.A.W. Inc. Center for Young Women reaches young women at the time when they are most susceptible to the corrosive power of social messaging so influential that it can define how young girls view their own self worth and their ability to achieve success. It is also a safe, caring, learning environment that promotes their best effort and reinforces personal respect and success.

Leadership Development workshops provide girls the necessary counterbalance to today's social messaging, developing young women who are empowered, have the skills and the self confidence to stand in the truth of who they are, and actively search out opportunities to lead and make a difference in their communities.

A non governmental non-profit youth development organization committed to helping girls feel great about themselves by encouraging to find their voices, explore their skills and become dynamic leaders.

S.T.R.A.W. Inc.'s long-term, holistic programming is relevant and responsive to the needs of the girls and young women we serve.
