The NWA Young Women of Color Executive Director Leadership Retreat is a unique capacity-building and leadership program that provides support and training for women of color Executive Directors between the ages of 25-35 working in fields related to human rights and social justice.

Understanding that there are very few resources and support available for women of color who are at the beginning of their social justice careers, the NWA Executive Director Leadership Retreat was developed to help build the capacity of young women of color to lead movements for social change; encourage new perspectives and new approaches to community organizing and movement building; build camaraderie and
strengthen peer relationships; and create opportunities for networking and information sharing.

We anticipate accepting a total of fifteen participants. All costs associated with participant attendance will be covered by the National Women's Alliance. Attached please find an application and information packet. Please post and share this information with other social justice organizations and individuals who you believe could benefit from knowing
about this initiative. Applications are due May 14, 2004 at 5:00 p.m.

If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to contact C. Nicole Mason 202.518.5411 or visit our website at www.nwaforchange.org.
