YOUTH PROGRAMS
Recognizing the diverse needs of our youth, HAWA has coordinated a line-up of Southeast Asian Youth programs that focuses on empowering leadership in youth through community organizing and involvement.
OUR SISTERS' STORY
This program is an evening program for girls between the ages of 12-17 that meets every Monday & Thursday from 4pm-7pm (School Year) that helps youth develop leadership, confidence, and self awareness. The program believes in empowering teen girls to become leaders in their families and in their community.
OUR SISTER'S STORY: BIG SISTER
Our Sisters’ Story: Big Sisters is a youth program for young Southeast Asian women ages 17-20 years old in Milwaukee. The program aims to address healing by bringing light to the injustices that women, girls, and queer fem folks face through story sharing, building sisterhood, and self love. Additionally this program strives to create a new world that is free from violence against women, girls, and queer fem folks through empowerment, necessary life skills, and leadership.

KID'S CORNER
Kid’s Corner is for children under the age of 12. Our sessions are provided for children with the opportunities to build healthy relationships with other individuals in a safe, culturally sensitive environment that encourage personal and social growth, arts and crafts, and homework help during the school year.
