Princess Soldier is a motivational teen girl club that offers opportunities for girls to have fun, learn life-skills, be involved in the community, be empowered to make good decisions, and peer mentor other teen girls. Sometimes families may not be able to afford membership fees to certain programs and activities so young people end up at the house, bored, or hanging out with no supervision. Sometimes parents are too busy to interact and be involved in the lives of their children. These factors can lead to teen pregnacy and other unfortunate outcomes.

I launched Madison SOS (Speak Out, Sister!) at age 15, in the spring of 2007. I wanted to do something to address several issues in my community of Madison, Wisconsin relating to young women: poor self-esteem, political apathy, and little knowledge of how they as community members could affect grassroots change. A high school student myself, I decided to focus on the high school audience as my primary constituency.
