The Blossom Be You Project aims to empower and meaningfully engage young women of color through a 4-6 week summer program in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The Bud to Blossom summer program consists of weekly workshops led by collegiate mentors that prepare the "Buds" to uplift their communities by serving as confident leaders. These sessions range in subject matter from self love and emotional welfare to financial advisory and resume-building. We offer opportunities for the mentees to volunteer and engage civically.
