“My endorsement for the program is because it takes what most women want to learn about themselves and breaks it down into small sections and allows the youth to grow into their best self while still giving them opportunities to participate in something bigger than themselves. Young women today are bombarded with so many negative influences that they are given the wrong impression of what a woman is. They do not develop the skills to be able to have a core value system, empathy for others, and a sense of community. This program gives them all the tools they need to succeed at knowing who they are and how they want to show up in the world around them. From asking them the tough questions to providing a way for them to demonstrate their skills and what they have learned through the experience of community service this program offers a different perspective to a much needed learning experience for our young women today.”
