WOCN Young Women of Color Advocates & Leadership Tool
|
 A Mentoring Tool for Advocates in the Anti-Violence Against Women Movement
This tool was created to be a sound guide for young women of color (YWOC) advocates in the anti- violence against women (VAW) movement who are interested in building a mentor relationship. Young women of color, in particular, are less likely to have access to mentors or mentoring relationships, despite the important role mentoring may play in workplace success and professional growth. Although this tool is intended to encourage mentoring of YWOC advocates, it also has applicable uses for anyone trying to establish effective mentorship. Click here to view the tool

 Fall 2008
WOCN has begun to offer in our national presentations what we call the “woman of color constellation,” as a way to describe just how beautiful and complex we are. Our lives, our victories, and yes, our losses are experienced within a kaleidoscope of personal and political identity, beliefs and environment.

 Spring/Summer 2007
We are receiving more calls and pleas for assistance around workplace issues in 2007 than ever before, both as calls to our office and through our national outreach efforts. We have come to understand that providing leadership training and networking cannot alone address this issue, particularly when we also are hearing from advocates working in culturally-specific programs.

 Summer/ Fall 2006
We are pleased to present Women of Color Voices, the new WOCN bi-annual newsletter. In WOCN’s 9th year of operation, this is the re-launching of a previous vehicle WOCN has used to shrink the miles between us and our membership, colleagues, and friends. Our last newsletter was circulated in 2002, and we are excited to bring bi-annual information and news to you once again.
