Of the 17 young women in Sisters Rising 14 are on track to graduate from the internship at the end of June 2010. Of the 14, 5 completed their probation, 3 graduated from high school, 13 young women self-reported that they now know how to write a cover letter and resume, how to articulate their strengths to a potential employer and how to use the Internet to conduct research and use Microsoft Office programs. Additionally, 14 reported that she now has a close relationship with another female – an outcome that we believe is important to building community through sisterhood. All 17 young women helped plan, facilitate our Annual Know Justice Conference that brought together 250 young people to learn about their rights in the system and connect with community resources.
