About Us
Mission: 

Powerful Voices’ mission is to create brave spaces with girls* of color to take charge of their own power as leaders, igniting their abilities to confidently express themselves, build community, and act against injustices affecting their lives. Since 1995, Powerful Voices provides support for girls* of color in and outside schools and the juvenile justice system. We provide social justice-focused, all-girl* experiences for girls* of color ages 12-18. Young folx qualify if they reside or attend school in central, southeast and southwest Seattle.

*We serve young people who identify and/or have been socialized as girls*.

Why Work For Us?: 

Powerful Voices has a deep commitment to shared leadership, transparency, authentic relationship building, opportunities for growth, self-care, and wellness -- all of which lead to a work culture that is positive, supportive, and infused with gratitude and celebration. We are a fully woman and non-binary staff of color that aims to reflect the young folks we serve.  Overall, Powerful Voices builds a space where young girls* of color feel brave enough to share their truths with us and then the world. In service to our young folks, we are searching for individuals who align and contribute to promoting these values. Powerful Voices is currently in a period of growth, accountability, and development. All prospective applicants must be willing to grow with the organization as we move into our next iteration.
