THE POWER OF BEING A GIRL CONFERENCE

For most young women, the teenage years represent a difficult and challenging phase. the Power of Being a Girl Conference is a national YWCA initiative developed to engage at-risk girls in self discovery and awareness. The program is intended to help girls recognize their common challenges, develop personal awareness and work towards individual and group-oriented solutions.

This day-long Conference is an excellent example of an innovative, cutting-edge preventative program for at-risk youth in our city. This conference focuses on body image, relationships, dating, peer pressure, family violence, and bullying.
