We are celebrating a milestone!
15 years of empowering young Women of Color,
and we want to celebrate it with YOU, our amazing community of chicas, mentors, families, and supporters.
A quinceañera that honors the Chica Project journey. It’s a story of transformation. We're marking our step into a new chapter with maturity, independence, and purpose, celebrating the community that has made it all possible.
Join us for this special celebration.
In every quinceañera, there are special people who walk beside you: guiding, supporting, and celebrating your journey.
Meet the leaders whose love and commitment help light the path for our chicas as we celebrate 15 years of impact.
