In 2023, WDV began our first ever state-wide Enabling Young Women Leadership Program!
This Program empowers young women and non-binary youth with disabilities, to become stronger leaders within their communities.
Participants have been focusing on:
- Exploring identity.
- Learning about different models of disability.
- Communication, and how to be assertive.
- Learning about their human rights, and in particular
- Rights to safety and respect, and the impacts of violence.
- Building self-esteem and confidence.
- Reflecting on and developing strengths.
- Expanding connections and networks.
- Being an advocate.
For the next phase of the Program, participants will work towards a leadership goal.
WDV is seeking Mentors to be part of our Enabling Young Women (EYW) Mentor Program, to utilize their knowledge and skills to support a participant as they work towards their goal.
Mentors will be women or non-binary people, with or without disability, aged 18+
