Women of Color in Education was created to be of service to young women of color who desire individual and experienced guidance to help them move forward by providing a supportive environment for goal setting, skill building, and personal development. Our goal is to cultivate healthy relationships that promote increased self-confidence, self-sufficiency, and self reliance. Through this our young women will become a powerful force and contributor to our community.
