Programs
NCNW’s programs are grounded on a foundation of critical concerns known as the Core Four .
NCNW promotes education with a special focus on science, technology, engineering and math; encourages entrepreneurship, financial literacy and economic stability; educates women about good health and HIV/AIDS; promotes civic engagement and advocates for sound public policy and social justice.
Core Four
Economic Empowerment & Entrepreneurship
An important aspect of the NCNW mission is to empower women of African descent, their families and communities. One of the ways that we do this is by presenting information that is designed to help women and their families achieve their economic and financial aspirations.
Health Equity
Six Health Targets: Affordable Health Care, Breast Cancer, COVID-19, Maternal Health, and HIV/AIDS.
S.T.E.A.M. & Education
NCNW seeks to establish a more comprehensive, integrated response to the need for science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics education for communities of color. In recognition of the fact that economic stability and career opportunities are enhanced by familiarity with STEAM, NCNW believes it is important to cooperatively plan for and implement measures that will provide greater awareness of STEAM careers and greater access to the paths to those careers.
