Womankind

Womankind works with survivors of gender-based violence to rise above trauma and build a path to healing. We bring critical resources and deep cultural competency to help Asian communities find refuge, recovery and renewal from domestic violence, human trafficking, and sexual violence.

The Youth Ambassador program's mission is to raise awareness, educate, and provide resources to youth in the community about gender-based violence, while empowering youth and supporting leadership development by providing a platform for youth-led activism.

Youth ages 14-21 who are passionate about fighting against gender-based violence are invited to join a group of likeminded peers and make a difference in the NYC Pan Asian community!

Youth meet weekly from 4:30pm-6:30pm one day a week starting in the fall. Email volunteer@iamwk.org for more information and to apply.
