About Girls ACT

SEPA Mujer Inc., in partnership with the Suffolk County Department of Labor, Licensing, & Consumer Affairs presents a program specifically crafted for Latina girls ages 14-21 years!
​
Our program is committed to creating a safe space for growth, mentoring, and leadership development for Suffolk County’s Latina youth. Every summer, we provide a warm, constructive, and encouraging space where the participants are mentored and celebrated for their creativity, leadership, and their peaking interest in social justice.

Participants will have the opportunity to work side by side with SEPA Mujer's staff in our central office in Patchogue from July 5th to August 19th 2022. Participants are also paid by the Suffolk County Department of Labor minimum wage*. They will be expected to lead projects and tasks imperative to the growth and success of SEPA Mujer while enhancing their own skills, developing new professional skills, and honing in on their passions as pathways to careers.
