Mission Statement
The mission of the National Girls and Women of Color Council, Inc. (NGWCC) is to celebrate, embrace and empower girls and women of color through advocacy, collaborations, personal enrichment, education and career activities and programs designed to help girls and women of color overcome the numerous barriers that continue to stagnate their psychological, emotional, physical, social well-being, and growth.
Description
NGWCC is non-profit organization formed to be a council for educators, administrators, business leaders, parents/guardians, students, community leaders, and community organizations to address and discuss historical and societal perspectives, conduct research, educate, mentor, and be advocates for girls and women of color. Despite the increase in visibility of girls and women of color in the areas of work and education, the scope needs to continue to widen, so they are a vital part of literature, media, and society. We encourage girls and young women of color to join NGWCC as your voices are valuable and needed.
