GirlsTeen Retreat to Strengthen Self-esteem
By Kyondra Kennard | Support for At-Risk Teen Girls
![]()
Our second annual girl’s teen retreat is approaching and we have decided to focus on self-esteem and body-image. Also, at the request of one of our teens we have added depression support to the programing. Girls attending this program have been affected by HIV/AIDS, in addition to the daily struggles and pressures of being a young girl in our society. We hope to provide a sense of empowerment and self-love for these girls. Using interactive activities, peer support and quiet time; we hope to provide them with a basis to which they can continue throughout their home lives. We will be staying at a cabin a few hours from the city, where they girls can leave their day to day routines in hope of focusing on themselves.
By increasing the number of teens coming this year we will be able to make a bigger impact on our community. The teens receive great support in each other, and the higher the number the more diverse and helpful this weekend will be for the girls.

Education for Teens affected by HIV/AIDS
By Kyondra Kennard | Program and Operations Assistant
This past month we provided our teens with a weekend retreat focused on sexual education and heathy boundaries. A professor from the University of Washington provided interactive programing that our teens were enthusiastically engaged in. Part of our mission is not only providing the youth in our programs with stable support, but to give them the resources and tools so that they may succeed beyond our care. Teens within our programs are affected by HIV/AIDS. Our goal is to provide them with support, education and drive. We hope to help them recognize their dream and to give them the confidence and will to achieve them. With your donation we will be reaching more at-risk youth, and provide them with as much care and support as they need to be successful adults.

For 25 years Inspire Youth Project has provided children and teens affected by HIV/AIDS with vital emotional and social support. Our programing and support includes mentoring, support groups, summer camp
Teens at Inspire Youth Project are provided missing social and emotional support. Recently our focus has emerged to offer an educational piece that will provide our teens with important skills and resources that they are otherwise missing. A professor from the University Washington with a PhD in adolescent psychology has become as a partner in organizing the information that will be taught at our next teen retreat. Working together we will develop the most effective way to help teens become more prepared for the anxieties and pressures of being a teenager. We are seeking funds to help pay for transportation costs, food, materials, and lodging for this event. Our goal is to give our teens the information, support, and stability they often lack at home. After the weekend teens should have a clearer understanding about the importances of desion making, sexual education, and having healthy boundries. This support will be continued in our support groups and mentorship.
