chi·ca

What two women call each other affectionately, in support of solidarity and sisterhood.

We are Chica Project.

Rooted in our culturally affirming, intergenerational, and asset-based framework, we support chicas on a lifelong journey of community and self-discovery to build collective power.

Our programs center, affirm, and empower:

Black, Latina, and Indigenous identities. We also welcome Asian, Arab, Pacific Islander, and Multiracial women of color.

Anyone who identifies as girl/woman, regardless of gender assigned at birth. We also welcome people who identify as femme, non-binary, or gender nonconforming who feel aligned with experiences of girlhood and womanhood.

Youth beginning at 11 years old, young women, and adult women.

Those whose sense of identity and belonging has been shaped by immigrant or diaspora experiences.

Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.
