WHAT IS PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM?
The Partnership Program lets schools and community-based organizations bring a multi-week, customized leadership class to the young women and gender expansive youth they work with. Based on our “Siblinghood Academy'' curriculum, we work with organizations to tailor the workshop series for an impactful, energizing experience focused on exploring and building identity, community, and leadership.

All of the answers to any question that your organization may have about partnership program
WHO SHOULD APPLY?
The Partnership Program is especially committed to serving harder to reach young adults — like young parents, court involved youth, over-aged/under-credited students, LGBTQIGNC youth, and young people in neighborhoods and communities that do not typically have access to these resources. SNLP has the ability to provide in person and virtual programming and will work closely with schools to determine the best approach for students.
To participate in the Partnership Program, your organization should:
Be based in one of the 5 boroughs of NYC or in Newark
Be committed to enrolling at least 10 young women and/or gender-expansive youth ages 11-22 in each class
Enable the class to run for at least an hour per session, for at least 10 sessions
Offer the class either during school hours, after school hours, or on Saturdays
