(GGE) believes that widespread violence against women and girls of color points to deeply rooted racial and gender discrimination that must be tackled as a peace-building and human rights priority. As a national coalition-building and youth development organization, based in Brooklyn, NY, GGE acts as a catalyst for change to challenge the structural forces that work to obstruct the freedom, full expression, and rights of girls, including transgender girls, non-binary youth, and gender non- conforming (TGNC) youth of color.GGEs current work is defined by programs that move young people to action. GGE has cultivated three major programs to develop the leadership and address the advocacy needs of young people.Sisters in Strength (SIS) healing circles: is a community-based program that utilizes trauma and healing-informed restorative approaches to address the impact of sexual abuse and social injustice on cis and trans girls and gender non-conforming youth. Through weekly group sessions, SIS reaches cis and trans girls and gender non-conforming youth between the ages of 15-18. SIS offers a context for examining cycles of violence and trauma, as well as tools for exploring identity, autonomy, and healing from a youth-development perspective. SIS encourages young people to assume leadership roles within their communities in order to disrupt the culture of silence, avoidance, and shame around sexual violence in intimate, shared, and community spaces. Historically, SIS has been GGEs anchor youth organizing program. Given the urgency of the me too movement, SIS has shifted to a smaller cohort of participants who identify as survivors of child sexual abuse, sexual assault, or gender-based violence or as allies who are committed to changing the conditions that cause harm to their peers. In this new iteration, SIS serves as a pilot me too. movement youth program and is being replicated in focus and branding by the Firecracker Foundation in Lansing, Michigan.Urban Leaders Academy (ULA): ULA is a five day a week, after-school program designed to help 150 low-income, middle and high school youth in Brooklyn ages 1118 achieve academic excellence, social and emotional growth and maintain healthy lifestyles. Programming includes training in restorative justice and intimate partner violence prevention for students, parents, school staff, and administrators. Students receive academic support and engage in a range of programs, including STEAM, food justice, health and fitness, mentorship, and more. ULA takes a whole-school approach to cultural transformation and works with school administrators to bring restorative justice practices to life in schools. Young Womens Advisory Council (YWAC): YWAC is a program of GGE and was a cornerstone of the NYC Young Womens Initiative, launched in 2015 in partnership with the New York City Council. Now in its fourth year, YWAC is an advocacy and civic engagement program for 20 young cis and trans women and GNC youth of color residing in all five boroughs ages 16-24. YWAC advances the lives of young women of color through policy and organizing campaigns in New York City. YWAC also works with national movement leaders to inspire the adoption of local young womens initiatives throughout the country. Since the launch of the Young Womens Initiative in New York City, eight other cities and states have launched Young Womens Initiatives, each with a local Young Womens Advisory Council.Policy & Organizing GGE believes that young people of color have the tools and expertise to advance the changes that communities need. GGE roots its policy and advocacy work where violence begins for girls of color - at home, in the streets, at school, in jails and prisons, and in their places of work. Our organization utilizes participatory processes in partnership with young people, to develop our perspective on policy issues, and to work to ensure that girls (trans and cis), gender non-conforming and non-binary youth live self-determined lives.
