WOC Advisory Council

The Women of Color Advisory Council brings together a dynamic group of leaders, advocates, and community members who will provide strategic guidance, lived expertise, and critical insight to help shape YW Boston’s programs, partnerships, and impact. This newly commissioned Council is designed to ensure that the voices and experiences of women of color remain centered in the organization’s work and in broader efforts to advance equity across Boston.
