The Women of Color Policy Network is dedicated to ending the invisibility of women of color in public policy and enhancing our life chances through policy research, advocacy, public education and mentoring a new generation of advocate researchers.



The Young Women of Color Policy Program was started in 2002 as a pilot program with a mission to: [1] engage young women of color in understanding policies that directly affect their lives; [2] teach them how to develop and articulate policies; and [3] connect them to institutions, including legislative bodies, where their policy articulations will be heard
