At DCGC, young girls of color are leaders with solutions for the issues they face every day. The organization trains young people across the city to identify and prioritize the issues impacting their communities, develop and research solutions, and communicate and implement those solutions. Its annual Youth Town Hall, facilitated entirely by young people, draws city leaders from all areas of government. Over the last six months, youth lead campaign actions such as presenting their solutions at panel discussions, organizing rallies, and meeting with city officials. Throughout the year, DCGC provides youth and their families with mutual aid support and opens healing circles where they practice coping skills with allies. When DCGC brings city leaders to the table, that table is built by and for youth of color.
