Proyecto Mariposas: Programs That Help Girls Thrive
At Proyecto Mariposas, we believe every girl deserves to feel safe, valued, and inspired to grow into her full potential. Our programs are designed to celebrate our Latina heritage, strengthen relationships, end barriers like period poverty, and open doors to creativity and leadership.
From school-year programs to summer camps, we provide free, bilingual, culturally-rooted spaces where girls ages 9–17 and the women who support them can connect, create, and thrive.
