Our projects tend to be with the higher brackets of girls and young women. We fund a number of projects where we are facilitating the integration of immigrant women into school boards, so there is a natural progression. Some of our groups like to see a sequence in which they make women familiar with their school organizations, give them roles as parents where they feel less intimidated, and then move them along the continuum to municipal politics and other forms of engagement. With immigrant women, we've had some specific projects designed to facilitate their integration into school boards.
