Young Women Choosing to Succeed

Young Women Choosing to Succeed is a 10-week program focusing on mindfulness, self, leadership and healthy relationships for 7th and 8th grade girls. Students meet during a class period or after school with a YWCA facilitator one or two days a week. The program is offered on-site at a partner school.

 

Mothers and Daughters ASPIRE Circle

This workshop is for mothers or female-identifying caregivers and their daughters (11 years of age or older) to join together in combined groups to strengthen their bonds through shared listening, creative expression, and skill building. Activities are designed to promote empathy, communication skills, stress reduction, setting limits and honoring boundaries, exploring meanings and messages about female identity, identifying relationship accountability, and experiencing affirmation together and within their broader female community.  This program may be presented as a day-long session or a series of shorter workshops.
