Presented By: Jasmine Abrams Summer Undergraduate Research Program University of Virginia

 Young Women Leaders Program (YWLP)  YWLP participants interact with girls and mentors from varied ethnic backgrounds.  Ethnic identity serves as a protective factor for youth (Pugh & Bry, 2007; Brook & Pahl, 2005).  However, little research has examined whether programs can indirectly influence ethnic identity.

This presentation explores whether interactions that occur within the program influences the ethnic identity of YWLP participants.

 1) Do YWLP participants report greater ethnic identity from pre-to post-program than a randomized control group?  2) For girls who do make positive change, what program practices and interactions were concurrent with that change?

Young Women Leaders Program Mixed Methods  Quantitative Sample: n=105 middle school girls  Qualitative Sample: n= 23 (12 middle school girls and 11 college women)  The Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM; Phinney, 1992) was administered in the fall and spring to program participants and a control group.  Based on positive changes in MEIM scores, a mentoring group was selected for qualitative analyses.

 Research Q1 was addressed using an ANCOVA.  Ethnic identity of YWLP participants (N= 62) (M= 2.706) was significantly lower than the control group (N= 43, M= 2.974, F (1,102) = 5.245, p =.024) at post-test when controlling for pre-test scores.

 YWLP participants’ ethnic identity was significantly lower compared to a randomized control group.  However, an increase in ethnic identity was found in a number of participants.  Limitations  Future research ◦ Why ethnic identity was lower for YWLP Participants than control group ◦ If MEIM scores vary by race ◦ Compare positive change group dynamics to negative change group dynamics
