Sadie Nash Leadership Project provides award-winning experiential social justice education to over 500 young women and gender-expansive youth in New York City and Newark each year. Operating at the intersections of love and rigor, Sadie Nash Leadership Project utilizes the methodology of popular education to build community, critical consciousness, and college and career readiness for our students. We lay a foundation so that our participants (whom we refer to as Nashers) can lead lives in committed pursuit of joy and liberation for themselves and their communities. Over nineteen years, we have built a community of Nashers and Sadie Nash alums who have grown into young adults in the context of our supportive programs.
