Centene Corporation has partnered with the YWCA USA to deploy Young Women Choosing Action, an innovative program designed to engage 13- to 19-year-old girls from low-income families, especially individuals of color, over the course of three years. Funded by a grant from Centene, this program will help participants understand the impacts of trauma, develop healthy reactions and healthy relationship building skills, learn effective wellness practices, and grow their leadership and social justice skills. The program was piloted with participants in 24 cohorts over two years at four local YWCA affiliates, including YWCA Brooklyn (New York), YWCA Northwest . . .
