The Bella Abzug Leadership Institute (BALI)

BALI curricula is created to benefit young women and girls enrolled in middle school, high school and colleges throughout New York City and around the country. BALI is founded on the principles and vision of Bella Abzug, a leading feminist and the first Jewish Congresswoman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. BALI provides the very best skills based leadership and policy and public forum debate training, which would be otherwise unavailable to our trainees if we did not provide it free of any tuition cost.
