Vision and Objectives

The HU Empower Grant has a very specific vision and objectives.

Vision

We envision supporting the journey of historically marginalized Black women on the road to empowerment through arts, education, and community engagement to reduce and eliminate health inequities.

Objectives

The three main objectives of the Empower Grant are to:
1.  Incorporate the perspective and voice of Black women and girls to create new sustainable outlets for community engagement.
2.  Provide education and training to increase knowledge related to sexual health, HIV prevention, access to care and overall health equity among cisgender and transgender Black women and girls in order to engage in PrEP and overall prevention services.
3.  Identify the impact that arts programs have on enriching sexual health, HIV prevention and care, and self-determination among Black women and girls.
