MAWOCC's Intergenerational Leadership Academy

The Intergenerational Leadership Academy (I.L.A.) is for women of color and girls of color in grades 9-12. Intergenerational Leadership Academy seeks to provide a safe and empowering space for women of color and girls of color to develop their leadership skills and build the confidence needed to combat systemic and structural racism. We are intentional in creating a Safe, Healthy Environment for Leadership Empowerment, Authentic Development, and Success. The academy will provide holistic leadership skills for women of color and girls of color who are more likely to experience marginalization, discrimination, and gendered and racial stress.

Calling all women of color! We’ve got a fantastic free opportunity for you – our 2nd cohort for our Intergenerational Leadership Academy for women of color (ILA) program. Sessions are hybrid, with in-person meetups in Worcester, MA. This program is 12 weeks long and has a mentor component for all participants. Get ready to unlock your leadership potential!

MAWOCC’s 2nd Cohort Intergenerational Leadership Academy (ILA) – Women of Color (WOC) Program is going to start on September 7th, 2024 and we are excited for you to join the twelve weeks of training.

ILA will focus on developing and supporting women of color leaders to help further advance their careers and provide them with the tools and strategies to combat systemic and structural racism that are often deeply embedded in institutions, systems, policies, and practices. This leadership program will also provide social-emotional support through one-on-one coaching, small learning and instructional groups, and skills-building sessions to enhance leadership skills. WOC will be empowered to be strong, visible leaders while also receiving a support system that addresses racial, gender, social, and economic inequities experienced by WOC.
