Sadie Nash Leadership Project

At Sadie Nash we believe that all young women and gender-expansive youth are leaders NOW! Summer Institute gives participants (who we call Nashers) the opportunity to explore their current and future leadership while building a strong community with other Nashers. Summer Institute is an award-winning 6-week summer program for self-identified young women and gender-expansive youth currently attending high school. Throughout the program, Nashers question and redefine traditional notions of leadership by engaging in courses about society, identity, social justice, and other topics designed to foster critical thinking and a sense of community. Every week Nashers participate in workshops, attend field trips, and meet accomplished women leaders in order to strengthen their connections to each other, to learn more about their leadership, and to equip them with tools to transform their communities, their lives and their world.
