A Brief update.
We are currently planning our programming for Fall 2024 and Winter 2025. Register your child, or contact us to learn more.
Our GOALS
By developing an ethic of care, mentorship, and community organizing skills, youth and the R&W team participate in decolonizing and collaborative feminist praxes grounded in intersectionality and anti-racism.
Read more about the goals of our programming below.
1. exploring identity
We want to create space for youth to explore their identities.
Programming provides youth with opportunities to establish relationships with mentors, racialized women, trans, and gender non-conforming individuals who are able to engage with and empower them.
2. engaging in Social justice
R&W provides opportunities for racialized youth to learn and teach about social justice (e.g. understanding and tackling racism, sexism, etc.). Focusing on connecting global and local issues, we explore how societal issues affect us on both personal and community levels. We empower youth to take action in their own communities by reflecting on, and embodying engagement.
3. teaching and sharing skills
Youth are provided with the opportunity to learn new skills while being empowered to teach and share their own unique skills. Our regular programming integrates considerable skill-building content, and the youth are always encouraged to support one another’s learning and to build on one another’s strengths.
4. Activism and community-building
Our programming encourages youth to connect with local activists while building community with each other. To this end, we prioritize group activities that involve workshops or field trips in collaboration with a diverse range of organizations.
