SOUL Sisters Leadership Collective (SSLC) is a leadership development organization that mobilizes our most vulnerable young women in New York City & Miami, FL to interrupt cycles of poverty & violence. SSLC empowers young women to become agents of personal and community transformation. Our model has 4 pillars: leadership, social justice, healing, and the arts. We define “women” and “girls” to include cis, trans and gender nonconforming youth who identify with girlhood, womanhood and femininity. We offer three programs: Sisterhood Academy, Youth Leaders Board and Youth Social Entrepreneurship. All of our programs target court-involved, truant and homeless girls and include trauma-informed leadership development, restorative justice practices and arts-based social justice education & action. At SOUL Sisters, our girls are leaders now!
