The Sheila Y. Oliver Civic Association is a private, non-profit, non-partisan charitable organization committed to educating and developing young women of color who are interested in government, public policy, and community organizing.

"I encourage women and girls to keep going. Don't be discouraged by the barriers that hold you down, and remember no matter your gender or socio-economic status, you have the same limitless potential on this earth. Keep breaking glass ceilings."
