Est.

Founded on a desperate need for sisterhood among young women.

Our Mission

A supportive sisterhood where every girl finds her purpose.

Sistahs' Ca Nect creates a supportive sisterhood where girls ages 12–18 are connected to caring relationships, meaningful experiences, education, exposure, and opportunities that strengthen their confidence, life skills, academic and career readiness, leadership, and sense of purpose.

We help girls discover:

Who they are.

What they can become.

And the world of possibilities waiting for them.

Our Vision

Every girl, a positive force.

Sistahs' Ca Nect envisions a future where every girl has the confidence, support, knowledge, exposure, and opportunities necessary to discover her purpose, pursue her possibilities, and become a positive force in her family, school, career, and community.

We envision girls who:

Know their worth.

Believe in their abilities.

Develop healthy relationships.

Make informed decisions.

Explore possibilities beyond their current circumstances.

Pursue educational and career opportunities.

Develop financial and life skills.

Lead with confidence and integrity.

Give back to their communities.

Become women who empower others.

Help make this vision real.

Mentor a circle, share your skills, or give a tax-deductible gift—every act moves a girl closer to her purpose.

Moments of sisterhood.

From classroom circles to community celebrations—every image tells a story of girls becoming the women they were meant to be.

"I would do more than belong—I will participate. I will do more than care—I will help. I will do more than believe—I will practice. I will do more than dream—I will work. I will do more than teach—I will inspire. I will do more than give—I will serve. I will do more than live—I will grow."

~ William Arthur Ward

Sista Chat Book Club

"Sista Chat Book Club" invited Sistahs' Ca Nect young ladies to participate in the reading of The Diamond DIVAS. The girls enjoyed spending time with these women.

Reflections

In their own words.

"Before I joined the sister club where Ms. Hawkins was the sponsor, I was shy and no one could figure out my personality. As I engaged in conversations with Ms. Hawkins I learned several life lessons that made me a better person as well as a woman; and these lessons I cherish and apply within my daily life. My personality is still a work in progress, but all in all Ms. Hawkins is my motivator. It does not matter which club or organization she is involved in—it's the change in the future women that makes her great. Love you, Ms. Hawkins."
