I.M.A.N.E.E.

I.M.A.N.E.E. is a catalyst for Black girl elevation and empowerment. We strive to serve as the intersection of Black girl excellence, healing, and visibility. Through community programming, workshops, and mentorships encourage girls and gender expansive youth to embrace their wholistic excellence, unapologetically.

OUR MISSION

The empowerment of young women is one of the most amazing investments we can make in today's society. Our mission is to be a catalyst for positive transformation in the lives of Black girls regardless of their background.

OUR VISION

Educate: We help educate I.M.A.N.E.E girls in two parts: first about themselves and second, about their opportunities. Through self-esteem and leadership training, our students commit themselves to discover their purpose and what they stand for. Once they are clear about their purpose, we help them discover resources that are available to them in order to accomplish their goals.

Empower: We are dedicated to reinforcing the importance of sisterhood through every program, workshop, and mentor partnership we facilitate. Empowerment is truly successful at I.M.A.N.E.E when our students have realized their individual excellence and can encourage other girls to seek the same.

 

Our Programs

I.M.A.N.E.E. shares our work with the community through various programs, community service, and peer-to-peer mentoring opportunities for girls between the ages of 10 to 18 years old!
