About the Project

There is a lack of representation of young girls in leadership positions. Girls are involved in disciplinary actions dealing with fights and unhealthy choices. Girls are receiving less than “C” grades in courses for lack of dressing out or participating. They would benefit from involvement in leadership development that explores all aspects of their life to gain a better understanding of self and their sense of belonging in the community. Through small group interventions and reflection, girls will gain a better understanding of their actions and the ramifications to themselves and others. Building their self-esteem and confidence to take on leadership roles will increase their sense of belonging and self love.
