Chica Project is a nonprofit focused on youth leadership development for Latinas and women of color, rooted in cultural competency and the celebration of Latino culture. Since its founding in 2011, the organization has expanded from an initial group of ten participants in underserved communities to a program that engages more than 120 participants and mobilizes a broad base of volunteers in Boston, Lawrence, and Lynn, with community programming under the umbrella name Queens Rise. Its services center on mentoring linked to leadership workshops, aiming to foster strong relationships between participants and mentors while promoting cultural understanding and identity. Based in the Boston region and operating within the primary and secondary education sector, Chica Project positions itself as a community-based provider that supports youth development through structured group mentoring and culturally informed programming. A recent leadership development and community engagement milestone includes recognition as a youth organization of note in 2025, reflecting ongoing activity and impact in its target communities.
