Welcome to CHICAS FOR CHANGE
Are YOU ready to be empowered?
Chicas for Change is registered nonprofit corporation in Massachusetts dedicated to fostering female empowerment, gender justice, and menstrual equity among 7-12 grade students. First established as a small school club at Sandwich Middle High School in 2020, Chicas for Change has since evolved into a vibrant community of young change-makers.
Through regular meetings, rich discussions, bold partnerships, and life-changing projects, members of Chicas for Change make waves locally and globally. We believe that students given a space to develop courage, collaboration, and confidence can spark meaningful action and create profound impact.
I AM Confident.
Chicas for Change is dedicated to fostering confidence in young women and gender minorities in grades 7-12. Recognizing the unique barriers that young people face in voicing their opinions, the organization provides a supportive environment that encourages self-expression and empowerment. By championing inclusivity and resilience, we aim to inspire the next generation to share their insights and influence positive change in their communities.
I AM Courageous.
At Chicas for Change, we recognize that middle and high school can be challenging. From the first day of classes to first periods, 7-12 grade students face a number of obstacles that can be hard to overcome alone. That’s why we help create student-led groups of young people of diverse identities who share in a passion for women’s rights, gender justice, and social advocacy.
I AM A Changemaker.
Creating safe spaces for conversations encourages diverse perspectives and fosters understanding, allowing young individuals to explore complex topics and consider solutions collaboratively. When young people feel empowered to tackle systemic issues, they become catalysts for transformation. Their unique insights can lead to innovative solutions and drive meaningful progress in their schools.
“Chicas for Change empowered me to never be afraid to share what I am going through. More times than not a friend is also struggling with something similar. You are never alone in anything you are going through."
— Susan, Chicas for Change Alumna
