Social Advocacy & Youth Empowerment

Leaders on the Rise

YWCA Vermont’s Leaders on the Rise program began in 2018 as a leadership development opportunity to middle school and high school aged girls through the scope of social justice empowerment. Our two-day, one night program welcomes young leaders to Camp Hochelaga to participate in a variety of projects with the intended purpose to demonstrate the significance and power of self-expression and supporting others in our local community. In a rustic atmosphere, participants will have the chance to appreciate the natural beauty of camp while engaging in thoughtful dialogue to explore how they can make change within their communities. We look forward to partnering with a variety of community organizations to support our efforts in facilitating these meaningful projects of youth empowerment and leadership development.
