This article outlines a model for ethnic and gender sensitive group work practice. It uses the preliminary results of an ongoing empowerment study with African-Amerrcan mothers. Components and oats of the model are first presented. The initial implementation of the model and some of its outcomes (e.g., leader/ member participation, group cohesion, empowerment, composition) are discussed. These outcomes are examined in terms of their implications for group work practice with other ethnic-group identified women of color.
