Dear Friend!
 

October is Emotional Awareness Month and according to a survey by Capital One and The Decision Lab, 77% of Americans report feeling anxious about their financial situation. At The Alzenia Project, we are passionate about ensuring that young women are empowered and have the tools needed achieve personal and professional growth and satisfaction through mentoring, educational access and career readiness. We know that educating young women has a ripple effect on their communities and we are proud to support organization that equip intergenerational women to be their best holistically.

With your help we are making a tangible difference and equipping the next generation of leaders to be financially fit.

Keeping the Movement Going!
One year ago, we came together for our “Empowering the Movement” fundraiser, and thanks to your incredible generosity, we made a lasting impact. We didn’t just support critical programs for young women of color—we built a stronger, more connected community. As we reflect on that success, we’re excited for what’s ahead. With your continued support, next year’s event will be even more transformative, advancing our mission for equity and empowerment.. Let’s keep moving forward, creating a future where every young woman thrives!
