Southern Nevada Young Women's Collaborative

SNYWC_Sylvia — Wed, 28 May 2008 20:20:21 -0500

Nevada has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the country as well as the highest high school drop-out rate in the country. Given the anything-goes tourist culture in Las Vegas as well as the lack of comprehensive sexuality education in southern Nevada schools, this doesn't seem to be a coincidence. Young women in southern Nevada are given neither the information nor the opportunities they need to protect themselves and their futures.

Desired

momadison — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:01:45 -0500

Desired was created in August of 2006 as a result of a camp experience I had. The summer of 2006 I was a camp counselor at Camp Good News and spent my time reaching out to young girls, mostly ages 10 to 15, and teaching them about Jesus and his love for them. I came home wanting the experience to continue! I took a look around and saw that there were plenty of girls in my youth group who needed a "big sister" or a mentor in their lives to help them learn how to follow the Lord in everyday life and most importantly to help them understand his incredible love for them!

GOLD: Girls Overnight Leadership Development

Linzster — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:40:17 -0500

GOLD stands for Girls Overnight Leadership Development. The program, which takes place at a school district's high school, provides a unique opportunity for eighth grade girls to bond with their fellow female classmates, meet and work with many High School female role models, and reflect on and learn about many of the challenges they may encounter in high school before they become freshmen. The night involves group activities, guest speakers, salon time, exciting theme rooms, discussion, lots of food, and much, much more.

Science Days of Tallahassee

Mccrayn0517 — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 11:21:01 -0600

Our purpose here at Science Days is to provide female middle school students an after-school program which focuses on science and mathematics. Females, especially minorities, are under-represented in many higher learning institutions majoring in science and mathematics. The future of the world will be placed upon the shoulders of our future engineers, scientists, mathematicians, etc. The current and potential problems that the world will face within the next decade will directly affect this generation.

This is a class i teach twice a week for little girls who want to learn basic cheer. These little girls look up and want to become that cheerleader they saw at the high school football game or the girl in the uniform that the little girl was so impressed by. She wants to be just like a cheerleader and here is her chance!

ANorby — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 17:36:17 -0600

I had worked in the field of adolescent psychology the year prior to my freshmen year at college, collaborating with members of the Empower Program and the Ophelia Project- both leading girls’ advocacy organizations- at the Girls Leadership Institute. I worked as a counselor in Washington, DC at the Girls Leadership Institute, a residential program that assisted at-risk adolescent females who had been victims of harassment or bullying at their schools.

The mission of Jer's Vision: Canada's Youth Diversity Initiative (the Jeremy Dias Foundation) is to support youth who are addressing issues of discrimination in their schools and communities. Discrimination is still a major problem in Canada, and youth are part of the solution. The potential of youth is all too often overlooked, and we want to change that.

“Healthy Cultures, Healthy Girls” will begin to challenge and address the lack of culturally appropriate and healthy food options by providing dynamic educational activities to girls and young women who live in three underserved, low-income, urban communities in Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN. This project will be incorporated into the Young Women’s Mentoring Program, a year-round youth development program focused on building the employment and leadership skills of young women and the self-esteem of younger girls.
