Our Initiatives
Our Mission
Our mission is to effect positive, meaningful and sustainable change to improve the lives of women and girls of African descent throughout the Phoenix metropolitan community and beyond through collaborative programs and initiatives in the areas of health, education, economic empowerment, and political/legislative advocacy.
Health
Health is a vital component of a thriving community. NCBW is concerned about the well-being of the whole community and the whole person: physically, emotionally and spiritually. Our primary focuses will be advocacy in the areas of Family & Childhood Obesity, Cancer/Health Disparities, and Metabolic Disease.
Education
NCBW delivers support services that help youth achieve their educational goals. By supporting positive experiences, fostering a positive self-perception and self-respect, encouraging excellence in education and promoting the pursuit of positive lifelong goals, NCBW is creating future leaders.
Economic Empowerment
NCBW’s economic programs focus on financial literacy, family wealth building, and entrepreneurship. NCBW’s empowerment programs include comprehensive workshops and seminars that promote economic self-sufficiency. Sister-Nomic$ is the new NCBW philosophical mindset our path to economic empowerment.
Civic Engagement
Civic engagement is at the core of how we make a difference in the community and in the lives of Black women and girls. We engage the community and our elected officials around the issues relating to health, education, and economic empowerment that impact Black women and girls, while simultaneously encouraging self-advocacy and promoting leadership development. We engage in advocacy to affect the changes in policy and practice that are necessary to address the systemic inequities that exist.
