We are excited to share with you the current project and success of our Young Women’s Leadership Program!
Kayla is a past graduate from the Young Women’s Leadership Program. Kayla has been actively involved in the local community and works in the schools with at risk youth. Currently Kayla has come back into our circle and is actively doing outreach within the community informing others about accessing services to get STD/HIV testing, birth control, pregnancy test, condoms and encouraging women to know about their bodies.
Kayla is also currently in the process of expanding the knowledge she gained from the Young Women’s Leadership Training by recruiting young women from her own community to participate. Kayla will be a leader of at the Young Women’s Leadership Training with 10-15 individuals and encourage them to also be informed and share information with others. Kayla is working with our current educators to prepare this training and present it in a culturally respectable way to her peers. She is informing the trainers of issues that her peers are dealing with today. This will help our program meet the needs of her community and help our program grow.
It is amazing to see the growth and confidence within Kayla. The Young Women’s Leadership Program truly helps build leaders and empowers women with success!! We are very excited to have Kayla come back to us and want to empower other people in her community. She is the participant who is now the leader!!!
The picture attached shows Kayla participating in an outreach event within her community. Kayla talks with people and expresses the importance of knowing your body and accessing services.
Please continue to support our Young Women’s Leadership Program. Your support is what makes it possible for young women like Kayla to build self-confidence and leadership skills that they can use their entire life.
Stay tuned for our next project update where we will announce the location and date of our next Young Women’s Leadership Program!
